You can remove some of the firewall rules if necessary. However, you cannot modify some of the default General rules that appear in the list. You can view the settings of these rules by using the View option.


Note:

Do not remove a General rule unless you are an advanced user. Removing a General rule can affect firewall functionality and reduce the security of your computer.
To remove a General rule:
  1. In the Norton Internet Security main window, in the Network pane, click Settings.
  2. Under Smart Firewall, in the Advanced Settings row, click Configure.

    You may need to scroll the window to see the option.
  3. In the Advanced Settings window, in the General Rules row, click Configure.
  4. In the General Rules window, select the rule that you want to remove.
  5. Click Remove.
  6. In the Confirmation dialog box, click Yes.
  7. When you are done removing rules, click OK.
  8. In the Advanced Settings window, click OK.
To remove a Program rule
  1. In the Norton Internet Security main window, in the Network pane, click Settings.
  2. Under Smart Firewall, in the Program Control row, click Configure.

    You may need to scroll the window to see the option.
  3. In the Program Control window, in the Program column, select the program that contains the rule that you want to remove.
  4. Click Modify.
  5. In the Rules window, select the rule that you want to remove.
  6. Click Remove.
  7. In the Confirmation dialog box, click Yes.
  8. When you are done removing rules, click OK.
  9. In the Program Control window, click OK.
