<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Andy,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>You can add or remove open ports from Norton Firewall (NF). My port 1025 is</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>not open. I checked with ShieldsUp and Leaktest and everything is secure.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>To check it out, open NF and go to options there should be a list of which</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>ports are open. The way to do this is different in every version so I can't</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>help you beyond that. I've used NF since it first came out and am now using</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Norton Internet Security 2003, so if that's the version you're using I can</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>try to make it more clear.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>BTW: Steve Gibson (ShieldsUp author) does recommend you update your NF to</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>version 2.55 or higher.</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> A client advises me that when using Norton Firewall port 1025 is left</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Open. ShieldsUp confirms that. Does anyone else use Norton's Firewall?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> If so do you get the same result? Can anyone explain why, and whether</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> it's ok?</FONT>
