Configuring F-Secure Internet Security

The F-Secure Internet Security software package for Windows includes a firewall component, which controls the programs that can connect to the outside world and the types of connections that they can make. If F-Secure Internet Security doesn't permit Firefox to connect to the Internet, Firefox may generate a Server Not Found - Troubleshoot connection problems error when you try to browse to websites.
