It may also be that the Firewall has Learned that Application and was Updating the Rule.
hello. Like this site
I had an update that said internet worm protection updates 21 rules. I did not make any changes, so how did that happen?
I have Norton AntiVirus 2008

To clarify what Red wrote, you may have installed a new application that utilizes the internet for updates, communication, etc. OR an existing application was attempting to access the internet.
While the Norton product making the decisions sounds like it makes life easy, I can’t help but wonder if it also could tear things down. To clarify, I read on here about things getting past the firewall and security. So if it gets past, whats to say that it doesn’t trick the Norton product intyo making rules that cause more problems? Not dissing the Norton, just new to all this. Or is that rare possibility just the price we pay to use the internet?

It is not just the Norton Firewall it has to get passed; it also has to get by your Norton Intrusion Prevention Signatures as well as stay hidden from Norton Auto-Protect, and your Manual Scanning, i.e. Full System Scan.
However, it is very rare for anything to get Passed the Norton Firewall.

Norton's firewall is "polished", according to PCmag. Even if something manages for first circumvent your Windows Updates and patches, then Norton's Firewall, it will be removed or blocked by Norton's auto-protect feature.
Don’t get me wrong. I like the Norton product. used it the alst couple of years and no problems. But now are you all talking about the NIS2009 firewall or the inbound firewall with NAV2008?

N.I.S. does have N.AV., so, the Firewall in N.I.S. will be the same Firewall that is in N.AV. 2008, although, the N.I.S. 2009 one is more advanced than that of the N.AV. 2008.

That's very close. Norton AntiVirus 2008 has Internet Worm Protection, an inbound firewall (some consider it a "mini-firewall"). It is not the same as the firewall included in Norton Internet Security 2008 or 2009. Additionally, Internet Worm Protection is not included in Norton AntiVirus 2009.

N.I.S. has an Out-bound Firewall, where as N.AV. 2008 and Earlier doesn't [have an Out-bound Firewall].
