I’m using Norton Security 2006. Recently while attempting to connect with Turbotax, it sticks on a screen “We are creating a secure connection”. I’m thinking there is a place where I can “allow” this connection, but the only “allowed” list I can find is the e-mail/spam allow list. Can someone help me find the solution?
Check to see TT is being allowed in the firewall rules.Also upgrade to NIS 2009 for free.
Hi labguy,
Try the following steps to modify a firewall rule for a Web-enabled program
1. Start Norton Internet Security 2006.
2. Click Personal Firewall.
3. Click Configure.
4. On the Programs tab, in the "Settings for" drop-down list, select the Network Location that contains the program rule that you want to modify. By default, the current Network Location is selected.
5. In the Manual Program Control list, select the program rule that you want to modify. Here, it is Turbotax. If you don't have Turbotax listed there, you may add the executable for Turbotax and then configure it's Internet access.
6. In the Internet Access column, in the drop-down list, click Permit.
7. Select the firewall rule that you want to modify, and then click Modify.
8. On the Action tab, select the action that the rule should take.
