I don't have Norton's firewall. just the AV...but it has a ton of settings I never saw before...and have NO idea what they refer to..somewhere there are blocked situations that I don't understand..I could unblock but at this point without any other protection I wouldn't. I agree with the advice tho.. if I HAD firewall there would be choices I would make like she did. I didn't pay enough for this program for it to be over all security. It has such included but doesn't install because that isn't what I bought.. I just wish I could get rid of it..it's not user friendly...I never had problem before downloading anything like firewall or other AV...it's a hassle having it this way. But since I have nothing ELSE at this point it's what I have to use...grumble Thanks so much for your patience.. *~*@ Mary Lou@*~* /\ /\ >>> *^* <<< kg6ocz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/tpc/ERA_013006_ARS ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Andrew Dulaney Jr." <rdulaneyjr@xxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, January 30, 2006 10:04 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: norton problems >I don’t recommend that you disable your security just because a site >requires it. > > Privacy control places a protective barrier between the Internet and the > confidential and personal information stored on your PC.
