Internet Block /Access thru Norton Icon-Comcast Version

Posted: 05-Apr-2010 | 8:19AM · 2 Replies ·

In past versions of Norton (and in McAfee thru Comcast) I could click on the Norton Icon and block inbound and outbound access to the Internet.  Now I have to access the Norton Suite and go into the Firewall everytime I leave my computer .  If there is another shortcut way to do this, I cannot find it (and I can't even minimize this page to get back to it when I want to unblock/block the feature) .  Please put this  easy, accessible feature back, or tell me how to find it.  If you put it back, another thing I liked about the old feature: when internet access was blocked, the N (for Norton, of course) had an X thru it.   I really liked that......PLEASE PUT IT BACK!

Thank you

I see that I have not had a response to my idea from the Norton Product Team....I hope that's because your busy trying to update this feature or that you are so busy you just haven't had a chance to review my suggestion :-)  I know this seems trivial compared to some of the other problems people are having, but I would al least like to know that the possibility is there to get this feature back, or at least give us users who know how to use this feature an option. 

 P.S.  I was told yesterday by a Norton technician who called me that the reason it was removed is because some users were accidently activating it and complaining that they could not access the internet.  I really think it would be better to educate the user on a good feature instead of removing it.  I won't give up though---I will keep checking back .  Thanks ----have a good day.
