Firewall is preventing a trading platform from opening unless I disable the firewall. I receive live price feed from them and send orders to them. How do I add their program to an allowable list.

Are you sure it is the firewall blocking the program? Is the program listed in Norton's Program Control (found in Network Settings > Smart Firewall)? Please provide more information about how the problem started and what sorts of alerts or notifications you are getting about the lack of connectivity.
I am trying to follow these instructions but the screen prompts appear to be different than indicated (I'm using NIS 2011).
1. Open Norton Internet Security. OK.
2. In the Internet pane, click Settings. There is no "Internet" pane. "Network Settings" pane?
3. Under Smart Firewall, click Configure next to Advanced Settings. OK.
4. Under Advanced Settings, click Configure next to Program Rules. There is no "Program Rules." There is "General Rules." or there is "Automatic Program Control". At this point I am lost.

Let us know the results.
Yep... Sorry, I have now the 360 beta on my system, and could not check it.... :P
So the Program Rules setting is here:
Open Settings -> Network Settings -> Smart Firewall -> Program Control
I am having a similar issue. I am trying to run an application on my smart phone to synchronize with the computer and it keeps telling me that the firewall is blocking access. I have set the program to "Allow", but it is still blocked. If I turn off the Norton Internet Security Firewall, the application works fine. So, the issue seems to be with Norton. Any other suggestions? Thanks!
Can you see the cellphone in the network map? If so, set it to full trust. This will instruct the firewall to allow it. If it is no visible in the network map, try going to settings>network settings>advanced and turn off automatic. Turn on Advanced events monitoring. This should force Norton to ask you what to do with it when you try to synch. Once you allow it, it will be allowed when you turn auto back on.
