Norton Personal Firewall 3.0 for Macintosh
Norton Personal Firewall 3.0 for Macintosh
Product Description
Norton™ Personal Firewall 3.0 for Macintosh® keeps hackers out and user data in. Initial setup is fast and easily configurable, with options for auto-setup, and minimal, medium, or maximum protection. Once installed, the firewall renders Macintosh® systems invisible on the Internet.
Administrators can now control outbound as well as inbound connections so Trojan horses and other malicious programs cannot send data from client computers without the user’s knowledge. Administrators can also customize settings for specific corporate needs, such as allowing or blocking connections by specific ports, IP addresses, and protocols.
The firewall automatically detects all available Internet services and only activates them upon user request. A new one-click setting limits access to a computer, or to users on the LAN or Internet. Users can turn off the Rendezvous™ service on their Mac® systems and can download files via FTP without turning off the firewall.
Norton™ Personal Firewall offers the user multiple ways to view the status and activity of the protected computer and the firewall itself. In addition to alerting the user to intruders, the firewall can also display information about all currently connected users—a helpful tool for finding and eliminating computer vulnerabilities. A firewall status window, self-test mode, and comprehensive logs help IT staff see exactly how Norton Personal Firewall is protecting the system.
