The suite's filtering feature blocks specific URLs, which isn't the best approach. You also get free updates for one year after that, they're $6.95 per year.
The program's logs detail the number of attempted intrusions but not the security risks. On-screen warnings about suspicious activity are sometimes too cryptic and should provide more information. Alert windows slide out from a panel on the right-hand side and aren't too disruptive. You can choose the level of alerts, ranging from only the most severe cases to every time a Web site attempts to create a cookie in your machine. To guard against viruses' impersonating legitimate programs, Norton creates digital fingerprints for known programs and makes updated lists available for download every two weeks. Symantec, however, is planning an online tool for tracing attacks, which should be available by the time you read this. It doesn't run a trace on suspected hackers, though, as BlackICE Defender and others in this roundup do. In our testing, it detected port scans even at its lowest security level. The firewall detects and blocks port scans and logs intrusion attempts. You initiate security scans through the program interface, but they run on Norton's site (unlike McAfee, which runs scans locally). You select from one of four choices for each app: Automatic, Permit all, Block all, and Custom. The scan's speed and convenience are great, but its interface is not quite up to the excellent level of the rest of the Norton suite's UI. You then set permissions individually or accept Norton's defaults. To customize security settings, you should first run a system scan, which compiles a handy list of every Internet-accessing application on your system.
