| 54593 | 2002-06-16 07:41:00 | Ok so I spent hour upon hour downloading Nortons Internet Security and installed it. Great I'm protected right? Well a friend directed me to www.pcflank.com which has a firewall test which Nortons failed badly. Whats the story should I uninstall it a try another or is this test not kosher? Any help? |

They also are not as big in size as Norton Internet Security. Put one of those up and then see what happens at the test site. Most test sites are quite good and some run your firewall through the whole range of possabilities. The firewall also depends entirely on your security settings so read all instructions etc carefully. Its like fitting good locks to your door and then leaving the door open when you go out. www.zonelabs.com for zonealarm www.agnitum.com for Outpost |
