Guarding against
intrusion attempts
Internet attacks take advantage of the way that computers transfer
information. Norton Personal Firewall can protect your computer by
monitoring the information that comes into and out of your computer and
blocking any attack attempts.
How Norton Personal Firewall protects against
network attacks

from intrusion attempts, malicious Web content, and Trojan horses:
1 Norton Personal Firewall
Monitors all Internet communication and creates a shield that blocks
or limits attempts to view information on your computer
1 Intrusion Detection

typical of an attack
1 Visual Tracking
