Norton Personal Firewall 2004
Block incoming access to your computer. more>> All firewalls can block incoming access to your computer, but not all provide the level of two-way protection that Norton Personal Firewall (NPF) can. This app offers relatively simple installation and setup and protects systems from both incoming and outgoing connection attempts.
It not only keeps Web sites and hackers from accessing your system, it also won`t allow viruses or any other programs to access the Internet without your knowledge. Unfortunately, NPF is a bear to configure, so we recommend it primarily for technically savvy folks who know their way around a PC and need detailed security settings.
The new version protects confidential data in e-mail, Microsoft Office attachments, Web sites, and instant messages and blocks banner ads and pop-up and pop-under windows off your screen for faster Web browsing.<<less

Viewing this history is useful to analyze possible security breaches and reveal suspicious patterns.

Avant4u Personal Firewall keeps your computer shielded from hackers by blocking all unsolicited network connections and traffic to your computer without hampering your browsing experience.
In addition to making your computer invisible, it gives you full control over what programs on your computer gain access to the Internet. Whether you are on your LAN at work or are dialing out or using an ADSL or cable modem to go online, this Personal Firewall gives you multiple pre-set levels of protection
- High ? your computer is fully locked
- Medium ? everything closed to Internet hosts and your computer still open to trusted zone computers
- Low ? file shares are closed and ports open for Internet traffic, opening your computer only to trusted zone computers
- Off ? no protection
In each of these levels, you can still navigate the web without any limitations and programs you have already given access to will work.
The Personal Firewall also comes with a feature - Global lock - to immediately shut down all network access, very useful when you suspect your system has been infected with a virus that is using your Internet to spread itself or when you just want to lock your computer.
Trusted zones open your computer up only to the computers you want. The Personal Firewall lets you define & enforce trusted zones, computers that you are sure have legitimate reasons to connect to yours.
Program Control facilitates another protection layer by asking you to give permission to access the Internet for each program that attempts to do so. In addition to this, Real time network traffic indicators and Automatic Lock, which shuts down Internet access after specified period of inactivity, give you comprehensive protection.
Requirements: Windows 32Bit, RAM 64MB, Hardisk 50 MB
