Remote computers and Norton FW 2005	shegeek72	05-16-2005

I was "forced" to upgrade from Norton FW 2003 to 2005 since they no
long support 2003. I guess it was for the best :P

I have a question about attempted connections from remote puters. In
2003 FW they were auto-blocked. However, in 2005 you have to manually
decide what to do with each one. I always block even though Norton's
recommendation is to "always allow." Aren't most attempted connections
from remote puters malicious? I tried connecting to a few of the DNS
addresses, most were refused and one was from an obscure website.

Thanks,
SG
