Since the MN-700 router has a built in firewall can I now remove the Norton
Internet Security 2004 from my PC or is their any benefit to keeping both on? nonameneeded |

The router firewall only filters incoming packets. Norton
also filters *outgoing* packets -- this helps uncovering spyware or other malware trying to use your Internet connection. The second point is that the router firewall does not protect against other computers in the LAN. This may be (although probably not often) an issue in certain environments (e.g. offering open wifi, soho), or when one of the computers is unprotected in the DMZ. >-----Original Message----- >Since the MN-700 router has a built in firewall can I now remove the Norton >Internet Security 2004 from my PC or is their any benefit to keeping both >on? > > >. > |
