Firewall integrates well with other Norton products, especially AntiVirus and these two together provide the core protection every Internet-enabled computer needs.

Firewall also includes Privacy Control, which keeps Web servers from retrieving your e-mail address, and other personal information while you surf. New in this 2002 edition is a Home Network Wizard, which can detect local systems connected to your main PC. Access requests from computers thus identified as "trusted" won't throw up an Alert.

For such an easy to install and use system, Firewall 2002 is surprisingly comprehensive and reliable. We found no conflicts with other software, even on machines where similar products were installed. A bonus is that the user is allowed one year's free updates, via LiveUpdates, to ensure the latest definitions, or "rules" are loaded onto your PC.

All in all, this package is highly recommended and, together with AntiVirus, provides the level of protection necessary today. --Alison Jardine
