Blocking Internet advertisements

Enable or disable Flash blocking

When Ad Blocking is active, Norton Personal Firewall automatically blocks

all Flash animations that have the same dimensions as common ads.

Norton Personal Firewall can also block all Flash content. This is useful if

you have a slow connection or are not interested in viewing Flash

animations.

You can choose to have Norton Personal Firewall block all Flash animations

or only block them on certain Web sites.

To enable or disable Flash blocking

1 Open Norton Personal Firewall.

2 In the Security Center, click Options > Internet Security.

3 On the Web Content tab, click the Global Settings tab.

4 In the list of Web sites, do one of the following:

2 To change Flash settings for all sites, click (Defaults).

2 To change Flash settings for a site in the list, click the site’s

name.

2 To change Flash settings for a site not in the list, click Add Site,

then in the New Site/Domain dialog box, type the site’s address.

5 In the Flash animation section, select one of the following:

2 Block

2 Permit

6 Click OK.

w Some Web sites use Flash to create navigation toolbars. Blocking Flash may

make these sites unusable.

default Norton Personal Firewall Ad Blocking list. You can use the Ad

Trashcan to add these to your personal list of blocked ads.

To use the Ad Trashcan

1 Open your Web browser and view the page containing the

advertisement that you want to block.
