Norton Personal Firewall 2006

Connect to the Internet on your own terms. With Norton Personal Firewall 2006, you control what comes in and what goes out. A powerful firewall, it's your primary line of defense against hackers and other intruders. Forming a perimeter around your computer, it posts sentries at all points of entry. These sentries automatically check the ID of anyone or anything trying to enter your computer. Based on your preferences, they allow entry, deny entry, or ask you first. And if something even looks suspicious, they automatically lock it out. Norton Personal Firewall also gives you the power to control outgoing traffic. Using Norton Protection Center-a one-look panel for controlling all your security tools-you decide which of your programs can connect to the Internet. Norton Personal Firewall is also a powerful cloaking device. It hides you from hackers and thieves, to safeguard your identity and data while you're online. Finally, it helps you control private information, warning you before personal data can leave your computer. You may be able to patch together this kind of protection with a mix of other products. But Norton Personal Firewall combines automatic intrusion protection and cloaking with full control over what enters and leaves your computer.
