To be honest, I've never used Norton Security. I have
used Tiny Firewall (www.tinysoftware.com) but I still
have found Zone Alarm to be the best. I've set it up on
many systems (from my own to one for my parents who are
not computer literate and it's been great for them). As
with any piece of software, make sure you keep it updated.
