Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) Compatibility Reports

Norton Personal Firewall and Bluetooth Ron Carey reports that Norton Personal Firewall disables Bluetooth functionality on his iBook:

"After installing Norton Personal Firewall the Bluetooth icon in system preferences (plus all settings) disappeared from network preferences. After uninstalling Norton and restarting Bluetooth became available, again minus the settings. I reinstalled Norton Personal Firewall, with the same result."

Symantec confirms NUM 7.0.2 bug Symantec has been able to reproduce the bug in NUM 7.0.2 that causes the preference setting for checking files to have no effect, according to correspondence with Anthony Kassir. A technical support representative writes:

"I have duplicated this behavior on our internal test systems and will take steps to let our Product Group know about this issue so it can be addressed in a possible future update. I apologize for any inconvenience."
