Turn Firewall Block Notification off

When Automatic Program Control is turned on, Smart Firewall automatically blocks malicious applications and applications with low reputation from connecting to the Internet or communicating with other machines on your network.

Norton notifies you when Smart Firewall blocks an application from connecting to the network. If you do not want to see the notification, you can turn this off by using Advanced Program Control.

Turn Firewall Block Notification off

  1. Open your Norton device security product.

    If you see the My Norton window, next to Device Security, click Open.

  2. In the Norton product main window, click Settings.

  3. In the Settings window, click Firewall.

  4. On the Advanced Program Control tab, move the Show Firewall Block Notification switch to Off.
