Please can anybody shed some light on what Norton Internet Security is doing with these 2 things…?
With regard to the firewall, I have chosen only a few programs can ‘get out’ on the internet. However, I have not blocked or removed any of Symantec’s “firewall stuff” at all, and I keep getting an alert that Symantec wants to access the internet. Fine! It can, and with my blessing. But do I need to be told every single time?
Also, and much worse… System 32 is driving me mad, wanting access 2 or three times each time I log on to the net AND often twice (about 5 mins) AFTER I disconnect. Can anybody tell me what this system 32 is about? What does it do? I ALWAYS block it, and nothing bad seems to happen, but am I preventing something good happening.
BTW, other than above, and I choose when to download the updates, I have all NIS set to default.
Any answers are welcome, but please bear in mind I’m not very computer savvy and may not understand the techy stuff. Thanx.
