You can allow, block, or manually create a program rule.

Turn Firewall Block Notification off
When Automatic Program Control is turned on, Smart Firewall automatically blocks malicious
applications and applications with low reputation from connecting to the Internet or
communicating with other machines on your network.
Norton notifies you when Smart Firewall blocks an application from connecting to the network.
If you do not want to see the notification, you can turn this off by using Advanced Program
Control.

Turn Browser Protection on
Malicious websites detect and exploit browser vulnerabilities to download malware. When you
turn on Browser Protection, Norton blocks malware before it can attack. It helps protect your
sensitive information and prevents attackers from accessing your computer.
By default, Browser Protection is turned on. Keep Browser Protection turned on to ensure
protection against malicious websites.
Note: The Browser Protection feature is available for Google Chrome, Microsoft Internet
Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge browsers.
