About Network Detector
Network Detector lets you customize Program Control
and Trusted Zone settings for different locations. A
location is a group of security settings that can contain
one or more networks.Whenever your computer connects
to a network in one of these locations, Norton Internet
Security automatically switches to the security settings
that are associated with that location.
For example, if you use your laptop to connect to the
Internet from home, from work, and from a neighborhood
coffeehouse, you are actually connecting to at least three
different networks. If you want the same level of security
in both your home and office, you could place both
networks in a single location. If you want more security
in the coffeehouse, you can create a high-security
location for that network.
