Change the size of the logs
Norton Personal Firewall stores the information for each log in a separate
file. You can change the size of log files to manage the amount of hard disk
space that they occupy. When the files reach their maximum sizes, new
events overwrite the oldest events.
By default, log files are between 64 KB and 512 KB. If you want to see
information spanning a longer period, increase the size of the log. If you
need to recover hard disk space, reduce the size. Changing the size of a log
file clears all of the information in that log.
