The Norton Internet Security Suite is just that, a bundle of different workstation security tools. It has a content filter for the browser, the antivirus product, the desktop firewall and something they call privacy control (doesn't let your personal info to be sent out to the inet). The firewall that comes with NIS is the Norton Personal Firewall, the consumer version of Symantec Desktop Firewall, which is for corporate use. I don't know of any real differences between the 2, they just use the Norton name for the consumer products because of the name recognition. darrin -----Original Message----- From: Tony Chryseliou [mailto:TonyC () bgls com] Sent: Saturday, March 03, 2001 9:23 PM To: 'Darrin Mourer'; firewall-wizards () nfr com Subject: RE: [fw-wiz] Personal Firewalls This is what I'm confused about... I already played with the eval version of Symantec Desktop Firewall... I looked at the screen shots of NIS and it looks like the identical product (I know about the NAV bundling). What gives here? What's the difference between the two products, if at all? Is this Symantec playing marketing games? -----Original Message----- From: Darrin Mourer [mailto:darrin () remainsecure com] Sent: Saturday, March 03, 2001 11:50 AM To: 'Tony Chryseliou'; firewall-wizards () nfr com Subject: RE: [fw-wiz] Personal Firewalls Norton Internet Security 2001 from Symantec. Works very well for remote management. Can update rule sets remotely. The fact that it has the ability to define granular rule sets put it ahead of ice imho.

NIS2001 is an integrated product that behaves very nicely (in our experience) that includes a firewall, anti-virus, etc. -- --Patrick Darden Internetworking Manager -- 706.354.3312 darden () armc org -- Athens Regional Medical Center On Thu, 1 Mar 2001 Jeffery.Gieser () minnesotamutual com wrote:
