Symantec Norton Internet Security 2005 NIS2005 User Manual

Installation

11

With most VPNs, when the VPN client is active, you 
cannot see the Internet or other computers on your local 
network. You can see only what is available through the 
VPN server to which you are connected.

Before installation

Before you install Norton Internet Security, prepare your 
computer. If your computer cannot start from a CD, 
create Emergency Disks.

Prepare your computer

Quit all other Windows programs before you install 
Norton Internet Security. Other active programs may 
interfere with the installation and reduce your protection.

If you have a recent version of Norton Internet Security 
Professional, Norton Internet Security, or Norton 
Personal Firewall, the installer can import and use your 
antispam training settings. If you have an older version 
of these products, the installer prompts you to remove 
the older version.

You must also uninstall any antivirus programs that are 
installed on your computer. For more information, see 
the user documentation that came with the programs.

If you’re using Windows XP

Windows XP includes a firewall that can interfere with 
Norton Internet Security protection features. You must 
turn off the Windows XP firewall before installing Norton 
Internet Security.

To turn off the Windows XP firewall
