Norton Internet Security
SlipStream Web Accelerator (SlipStream) is tested to be compatible with Norton Antivirus and Norton Personal Firewall versions 2003 (v9) and higher. It is recommended that you install Norton first, and then install the SlipStream. If you have SlipStream already installed, the steps below still apply to the first time SlipStream tries to connect after the NIS installation.
