Turn Norton Firewall on or off in Norton Setup

Smart Firewall monitors communications between your computer and the other computers on the Internet. It also protects your computer from common security problems. When the Smart Firewall is turned off, your computer is not protected from Internet threats and security risks.

If you need to turn Smart Firewall off, you should only turn it off for a specified duration, after which it is turned on again automatically.
