Hello people. I am about to create my first home network with the Norton Firewall included. I have heard about a lot of bad issues regarding Norton Firewall as I heard for their Antivirus program too. Therefore, I want to know something more about Norton security and its Firewall. Is it going to degrade overall performance?

Hi there. Not only it is going to degrade overall performance, but it will never give you any peace. You will always be sticked for the monitor wondering where is that god damn Hacker or malware disease that our famous Norton successfully detected and reported to us immediately, but unfortunately couldn’t do anything about that activity, because its kernel is too soft to do anything smart. This applies only if your machine is under 1,5 gigabytes of ram, because the resources are very important for Norton. Seems like more than for Adobe, which does something for difference. Avoid any Norton piece of code. Not good. At least for Home Use.
