Rating:  - Using a remote destop connection with Norton firewall
I find Norton Personal Firewall to be a very frustrating at times. However it does its job. I tried establishing a remote desktop connection and spent many frustrating attempts before getting it to work. If you're trying to set up a remote desktop connection you first have to open the proper port (3389) then create a general rule. The rule should allow inbound connections, from a specific computer (if static IP Address) for more security or it can be set from any computer, Communications: Any ... Read More
Rating:  - Useless
Sure, it blocks ports... all of them! After fussing for a day to get Remote Desktop to work (and unblocking port 3389 numerous times) I finally decided I needed help. To my surprise Symantec offers NO free tech support. I surfed the "online support" (term used loosely) and found nothing referring to Remote Desktop... Finally I needed to get back to work and decided to pay the $29.95 for phone support only to get a message stating that they were too busy, please check the website for solutions.

Rating: - Awful!
I would just like to comment very briefly on this product, that all seemed to be doing well and it did manage to work very well for a number of weeks. However it completly prevented me from viewing any websites under a 'secure server' Its caused me many wasted days with little access to the net. Money down the drain for this product, avoid!

I finally gave up after three days, wrote the investment off and downloaded Black Ice. Installed correctly ... Read More
Rating: - Get Norton Firewall or Internet Security 2003
This is a good product, but the 2003 line is better. Both of
these software packages contain an OUTSTANDING ad blocking
feature. After installation, I visited numerous sites which had
previously dumped loads of pop-up and pop-under ad windows and
flash-based ads on my screen, but now -- POOF -- no more trash,
with no discernable negative effects on web page loading. Plus
ad banners are effectively eliminated--so all you get is the web
page you want. After a week of intensive ... Read More
