Software Name: Norton Personal Firewall 2005
Upgrade Information: Not Applicable
Software Main Type: Security
Strengths: easy to install, takes over firewall function from windows xp, was free after rebates
Weakness: uses up significant system resources
I got the Norton Personal Firewall along with the Norton Antivirus that I also bought. This was for a new laptop that I wanted to make sure was protected from outside threats. Installing from the CD was very easy. I just popped in the CD and it automatically initiated the install procedure. When it initially started, it asked if it could take over firewall functions from windows xp. Then for each...
Strengths: The best part is the deals you get on this firewall product. For the price its not bad.
Weakness: Slows down the PC, sometimes hangs during automatic updates.
Overall a good firewall for the price, especially if purchased with good deals. The only major drawback that I found was that it slows down the PC a lot. I recommend you to buy it.....
Strengths: It has similar user interface like any other Norton software, so you will get used to it very quickly.
Weakness: It will freeze your internet connection while loading NFP2005 load itself.
I don't know how it really works to protect your computer, but it does ask you to allow/deny internet connection for most software or services and generates a black/white list. So in this way, you will clearly see what software use internet. But it's not that good if you are a common PC user --- this kind of question really confuses you, because you don't know the name of good program or real...
Strengths: It works just fine as it declaraed
Weakness: It has a little conflict with Microsoft window sp2.
I got my machine all crashed right after I install this software on it, which it is running window xp sp2 version. there are some conflicts between this software and window. after reading the help infomation from their website, I finally fixed this problem.
Easy stallation. Installation speed is ok, not too fast, but that's what I expected. So far so good. Never used other versions of firewall. Kindof lack comparison but since I have been a Norton user for a long time and still satisfactory with their products, I figure no need to try other versions.
Strengths: Easy to use
Weakness: N/A
I bought this firewall software about three months ago. I think I made a good decision buying it. It’s very easy to install and convenient to use. And I never had any problem with it so far. With its automatic updates, I feel protected from attackers.
Strengths: This software prevents hackers from intruding and stealing personal information.
Weakness: The only weakness this software would have is users lack of use to utilize the effective tool.
If you have ever been invaded by hackers damaging and infecting your system with worms and/or viruses as I have, you would want the best protection available to prevent this from re-occurring. With the Norton Personal Firewall 2005, I can have piece of mind, knowing that my PC is being protected from the most notorious form of computer crime out there.
Strengths: Easy installation, works well.
Firewall is an essential piece of software for anyone these days and this one works well with Windows XP. Installation is fairly straightforward and the software prompts/warns the user when there is any attempt to establish a connection to the computer. Standard software like Internet Explorer and Outlook Express can be easily pre-configured to work normally. Settings for other programs can be...
Strengths: Slick user interface.
Weakness: Slows down system.
I've used McAfee firewall and so far this one seems more powerful. However, it's also a little bit more complicated to use. All those popup notifications (for programs accessing the internet) can be annoying; I notice that McAfee didn't have much of this. But for free after rebate, it's a good bargain.

Norton Personal Firewall 2005
Strengths: Works well. Uninstall of 2004 version went smoothly.
Weakness: Live Update for Systemworks plus Firewall has never worked for us. I do it manually.
Been using both 2004 and 2005 versions - so total ~15months. I've no substantial complaints. It's simple to configure. That may not sound like a ringing endorsement. I can't say anymore; it works like it should. I know there are people who never use Symantec or would never use McAfee.
