Another week has now gone by. No word from Norton nor a fix.
The Firewall application blocking issue is still unresolved.
You promised to investigate the issue in early July.
"Thanks for reporting in Norton Community Forums. We have reported this issue to concern team for further investigation and will update once we get more details on fix."
We are now in mid September and the issue still has not been addressed.
This issue started with version 8.0.
What is the issue?
I receive the following messages daily:
FD00: (This appears to be an internal network address) is attempting to access CommCenter. Do you want to allow this connection? Selecting Always use for "CommCenter" is totally ignored.
iPhone is attempting to access rapportd on your computer. Do you want to allow this connection?
Selecting Always use for rapportd is ignored.
The computer 192.168.x.xxx is attempting to access rapportd on your computer. Do you want to allow this connection?
Again selecting Always use for rapportd is ignored.
The computer 10.0.x.xxx is attempting to access netbiosd on your computer. Do you want to allow this connection? (This is an internal address on my network.) Unfortunately, Selecting Always use for netbiosd is ignored.
In Connection blocking, Trusted Network, CommCenter is set to allow all other connections. It clearly does not.
Netbiosd is set to allow all other connections. It clearly does not.
Resetting the firewall was of no assistance. Uninstalling Norton with the Norton removal tool and then reinstalling Norton did not solve the issue.
It is not my configuration that is causing the issue. I have several friends who just installed Norton 8.4 for Mac and now are reporting the exact same issues.
