Domain Name Com's - Software : Norton Personal Firewall 2003

- Great Product - Great Price!
Basically, if you have a connection to the Internet that is constantly open, you should get some kind of Firewall AND AnitVirus. I decided to buy Norton Personal Firewall 2003 because I have had Norton AntiVirus 2002 and it worked extremely well. Once I got the Firewall, I installed it easily and in about 5 minutes had both the Norton Firewall and the Norton AntiVirus integrated into ONE security box. The pop-up blocker also WORKS GREAT! Not one pop-up since. I recommend both Norton Personal Firewall 2003 and Norton AntiVirus 2003 because nobody knows when someone will either send you a virus or scan your computer looking to hack in. Yet with these two products you can rest assured that when something goes wrong in the security department, you will be well equipped to deal with it.

- ... A waste of time and money.
Norton Personal Firewall doesn't work properly with Alcatel modems, making it crash on startup. Norton acknowledges this problem and asks you to update this software over the internet. How you're supposed to do that when it's crippled your internet connection, they don't say. Tiny Personal Firewall is a much better bet.

- It does not work with my broadband internet access
I have a Sprint wireless Broadband and I was told that hackers like to explore users who have broadband access and I need a firewall. There are two options for firewall: hardware and software. To save some money, I start with the software firewall: the Norton firewall. It takes a while to install but it blocks all my interent connections for its default setting. Then I start to play around with various options it has but nothing improves. It also eats a chunk of my memory and CPU cycles. After hours, eventually I uninstall it and buy a hardware firewall box instead. It is trivial to connect (plug it in between your PC and DSL modem), no software ever to install, do not eat CPU or memory, and never interferes with any other software or internet access. Since the price of the hardware firewall (such as Lynksys router) comes down quite a bit to the same level of the Norton firewall, why bother all the trouble and risk for the software? Buy a box.

- I hope there is better out there!!
I got his before it was even relieced because I had gotten a Cable connection and wanted to protect my PC. Well it blocks attacks well, but the first time I opened the visual tracker it corrupted my Java, after hours on the phone trying to get it fix I finally got it to work (the Java) and as soon as I opened the visual tracking again it did it again. I contacted Syntac and they said it was a Microsoft problem. I don't think so,I asked if there would be a patch to fix this and all they would say is to call microsoft, this is my second computer that this has happened to and I am not pleased. I should not have to deal with out programs and such on my PC to have another program! So over all it does seem to block the attacks but also messes things up! I am going to try to find a firewall from a different company next.

- Low security product
This product is expansive and lacks a real anti-trojan protection. It doesn't check the binaries integrity. The logs are storing less than 10% of the usefull informations and lack to be automatically generated in a standard format. All the default rules are not described, and this product fails to explain the rules priority, this can generate a mess into the security. You can see this at ....
And the last but not the least : you cannot save/restore your configuration !!!! Beware !
