WLM & Norton Personal Firewall
-
Firstly, may Norton close down this year.
Now we get down to business.
Does anyone know how I can stop getting these annoying pop-up alerts from Norton Personal Firewall? I re-installed my WLM last night and this thing has been popping out for no reason, even when I'm not engaged in any conversations.
My head is going to split open soon!!! -
To hell with Norton.
-
put it into norton's allow list lo...

I don't know how to...Originally posted by manyu882:put it into norton's allow list lo...
I can't find anything that's blocking or monitoring WLM's activity in any lists of programs.
And it came out ONLY AFTER I REINSTALLED MY MSN last night because it was darned abcxyzed getting cranky.
Don't ask me what I clicked during installation... I wasn't really looking closely and just clicked around.

I don't know how to use Norton.
Can you open Norton's main application for us to see? -
Deleted.
Please give constructive comments. -

Hmm... the nearest guide that I found is for configuring a VPN.
http://its.ucsf.edu/information/network/vpn/nortel/config/npf/index.jsp
Instead of clicking on the Networking tab, click on the Programs tab. MSN Messenger should be listed there.
Find something similar to Trusted zones, if unsure, just screenshot the Programs tab. -
What's a VPN?
There aren't any programs listed under the tab...
... I shouldn't have reinstalled it. -
No no, not the Networking tab.
Click on the Programs tab.
If you don't mind waiting, I go and install and show you. -
No... nono...
I found it, but it says Permit All for my WLM.
-
try removing all and adding againOriginally posted by MooKu:No... nono...

Although it's permitted, you still have those popups warnings?
-
Yeah...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Although it's permitted, you still have those popups warnings?
Anyway, I just went and removed all of them... Now to wait and see if there's any prompt asking me to permit WLM... -
*raises hand*
i see that she has 3 MSN messenger
sometimes certain firewall will give problems because they program has changed or the program is at another directory...so maybe she has to remove them all and add again?
ZA firewall will have this kind of problem.....they dun check their list if the program was installed before -
Hmm... either Norton screwed up, or your WLM is infected, that's why it keeps prompting you.Originally posted by MooKu:Yeah...

No... actually there was more. Probably 5 or 6.Originally posted by StarPuppy:*raises hand*

Just now a pop-up appeared to ask for permission... I selected "Permit" and checked the "Always use this action" box. I guess... now to wait and see if it appears again... -
could the Auto program control be the one giving problem..altho she added into the list?Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Hmm... either Norton screwed up, or your WLM is infected, that's why it keeps prompting you. -
I don't know if it worked... but thanks for all the help so far.
If the alert still comes up, I'll post here again...
Thanks mayi, thanks puppy... -

its ok la, norton's been in my PC ever since i bought it in... 2005... when my subscription expires i'll uninstall it... -
no worries...
to TS, do u use router?
if in the allow list there exist many of the same application., most likely it wil be the cause of UPnP. WLM was mapped on different ports everytime u access them.
hmm let me think of a solution first -
yes i use a router...Originally posted by manyu882:no worries...
