First suggestion is to run LiveUpdate manually a few times, restarting as necessary, until no updates are available? Then restart again. Restarting, not shutdown and startup again if you have Windows Fast Startup feature enabled. See more information here. Second suggestion is to reset the firewall. On the General tab, click on Reset beside Firewall Reset.
Restart your computer. Took close to 3 hours to finally get my computer back up and running again. For some reason the reinstall of Norton ran at a crawl until it finally started working normally again. I ran all LiveUpdate and also reset up all my settings, etc. It did remove ALL programs from its list and started to load them one at a time. At least if I turn it off, I can manually let them through and then re-enable I approve and all is fine for that program.
But now it's loading each program one at a time. There's some sort of bug It's not auto-approving DNS requests. But it appears the only thing it isn't letting through is DNS Or possibly, it could be that the program is requesting the DNS first so that's what it needs to unblock first. I guess it would only not request DNS first if it was trying to connect to a specific IP, so that does make sense.
Again, a full removal and reinstall resulted in the same problem. However, I will say the interface is much more snappy now I have sent you a private message requesting additional information.

Specific threats that firewalls protect against include:. Once the Smart Firewall lets permitted traffic in, IPS carefully examines the contents of the traffic that comes through. In Norton device security software, another part of the software called the Intrusion Prevention System, or IPS, uses machine learning to look at millions of data points of what good traffic and bad traffic does, and the IPS then informs the firewall with its learnings. This is particularly important for security in the case of new attack methods that cyber criminals try to use to infiltrate computers or home networks, or to protect against attacks that use old malicious code re-purposed in different ways to bypass security filters.
IPS and a firewall are part of the layer of security software that helps protect your computer at the network level, and they work in conjunction with other parts of security software like antivirus that protect in additional ways. With all of the features and technologies that make up Norton device security software, you can have peace of mind that viruses and malware that attempt to enter your computer can get caught by one of the layers of advanced security technology.
