Ok, here is more info. Norton Anti-Virus 2005 or NAV 2005 is
running on my new machine. The Internet Worm Protection
page has these options. The emphasis is on inbound connections but
the control is pretty fine-grained. What would you call this,
"half a firewall?"
Internet Worm Protection Options Page:
1. Configure Exclusions. This allows you to turn off NAV monitoring
of things it suspects. Currently my NAV is monitoring:
HTTP IIS ISAPI Extension
MSSQL Stack Overflow
W32 SQLEXP Worm Propagation
2. Program Control: allows you to configure inbound Internet access
on a program by program basis. You can configure inbound access
rules from selected computers, ports, or protocols.
3. General Rules: allows you to block or permit connections in general
down to the port/protocol level. By default NAV 2005 is permitting
non-routable IP, ICMP, DNS, NetBios, Win File sharing, Bootp.
Blocked: Windows 2000 SMB, EPMAP, UPNP Port 5000, and UPNP Port 1900.
All these are inbound. The help file says non-routable IP is set to
"blocked" by default. Don't know why my installation is set to
"permit".
4. Trojan Rules: Blocking about 75 named trojans.
5. Autoblock: blocks specific attacking computers, turned on out of
the box in auto mode.
