Opening and quitting Norton Internet Security
Norton Internet Security includes Norton AntiVirus,
Norton Confidential, and Norton Firewall to protect
your Mac. You do not have to start the programs to be
protected. If Norton Internet Security detects a
situation that requires your attention, an alert opens
to help you resolve the situation. By default, protection
features are enabled, and as Norton Internet Security
monitors your computer, it notifies you about security
risks as they occur.
Norton Internet Security records all activities and
detections in its Activity Log or History Log. If you are
away from your Mac, you can use the Activity Log to
see what happened while you were away.
