Norton - Turn Your Firewall on or off

Smart Firewall monitors communications between your computer and the other computers on the Internet. It also protects your computer from common security problems. When the Smart Firewall is turned off, your computer is not protected from Internet threats and security risks. If you need to turn Smart Firewall off, you should only turn it off for a specified duration, after which it is turned on again automatically.

  2. In the Settings window, under Detailed Settings, click Firewall.

  3. On the General Settings tab, in the Smart Firewall row, move the On/Off switch to Off or On.

  4. Click Apply.

  5. If prompted, select the duration until when you want the Firewall feature to be turned off, and click OK.
