Allow or block access to your computer
Norton Internet Security allows you to organize
computers on your home network and the Internet into
Trusted and Restricted Zones. Zones allow you to grant
trusted computers more access to your computer while
blocking malicious users.
Computers in the Trusted Zone are not regulated by the
Personal Firewall. They have as much access to your
computer as they would have if you did not have a
firewall. Computers in the Restricted Zone cannot
communicate with your computer at all.
The Home Network Wizard is the fastest way to organize
computers into zones. You can also manually add
individual computers to zones.
