I want to access and change Fire Wall settings. When I went by an account setting, I found the device setting; however, there are only drop-down menus showing either device security, manage account, or download. As in Norton’s manual, there are no “Open” buttons. I need to change the firewall on & off; off for a particular software. Please let me know which screen or web address to show me to do this command. Thanks. SML
I need to change the firewall on & off; off for a particular software.
Just curious why you need to disable the firewall? Norton's firewall should work correctly with all Windows apps. Are you getting some error messages?
If you just need temporary on/off for the firewall you can just right click on the Norton icon in the system tray and click on Disable Smart Firewall. You will have to be signed into a Windows admin account to have access to that setting.
