How to add IP addresses to Norton Antivirus 2007 for blocking contact from??

I have been receiving somewhat unwelcome intrusions on my Norton Antivirus 2007 software, rarely do I not see the Norton notification window open and informing me that it has stopped yet another attempt to infiltrate my computer by unwanted hackers. I read in the Norton Help that you can add IP Addresses to the Block list, so that you do not receive communication with/from them, I was wondering how do I go about initiating entering numerous IP addresses to this list, so that I can get some uninterrupted computer use without being at risk from hacking?? I have looked around on the Norton Antivirus user interface and can't see anything, I see a window that exists for adding such a list, but cannot add any IPs as the buttons are disabled.

I don't think you can add IP addresses to Norton Antivirus. NAV looks at files already on your computer, not IP addresses.



Firewalls look at IP addresses. If you mean you're getting notifications from Norton Firewall or Norton Internet Security, adding an IP address to the block list won't do anything. The notification is itself indication that the firewall did its job.



Now, if you do mean NIS or Norton Firewall, poke around in it and look for a way to reduce the notification frequency. That won't affect the operation, just the interruptions.

Any Firewall program will continually boast about the intrusion attempts it has blocked, if you let it. Don't worry about it! Just TURN OFF the intrusion notification.



You must have Norton Internet Security, not just Antivirus. The off switch should be amongst the firewall settings and intrusion notification is off by default so just restoring the default settings should do.
