Norton is driving me Nuts

[Tenshodo]

For about a month Norton has been giving me problems. Every 5 seconds it gives me a security alert that says it has blocked a connection. When I start up azureus or live update, it starts to alert me evry half second. It will not stop. Even when I turn the programs off, it refuses to stop. I even disconnected the modem and it still jept saying it blocked inbound connections. I disabled all forms of detection but it still keeps going. I have Norton 2004.

Can anyone help me?

uninstall it and get Kerio v215 and AntiVir

You need to open the ports that Azureus uses (usually 3881 I think) to allow incoming and outgoing UDP packets.. as for the specific how-to's, someone else can help you with that

Get rid of Norton and use the SP2 firewall along with avast.

Kerio and AntiVir FTW.

the norton firewall is just doing it's job, which is to prevent unauthorised inbound connections

you need to tell it which programs, and which ports, will be having in bound connections (e.g., your file sharing programs like azureus)
