The NVFirewall™ application allows several security profiles to match your
system security needs. The following describes the NVFirewall™ security
profiles:
• L o w L o w L o w L o w L o w - allows safe incoming connections and deny those that are
known to be dangerous connections. This profile also enables some
anti-hacking features.
• M e d i u m M e d i u m M e d i u m M e d i u m M e d i u m - blocks most incoming connections. Incoming connections
to some ports must be set to allow file transfers using some online
messaging applications. This profile also enables some anti-hacking
features.
• H i g h H i g h H i g h H i g h H i g h - allows the least traffic through. Only outbound connections
are allowed. This profile also includes the “stealth mode’ feature that
makes your system invisible to intruders. This also enables some
anti-hacking features.
• L o c k d o w n L o c k d o w n L o c k d o w n L o c k d o w n L o c k d o w n - blocks all incoming and outgoing connections.
• A n t i - h a c k i n g o n l y A n t i - h a c k i n g o n l y A n t i - h a c k i n g o n l y A n t i - h a c k i n g o n l y A n t i - h a c k i n g o n l y - this profile enables all anti-hacking features but

third-party firewall application.
