They practically wiped it out. When I first tried the Norton version, I saw hundreds if not thousands of registry and .DLL changes flash by on the screen during the install. I said "No thank you" and deleted it. It had a huge menu structure to define filters of all kinds, many of dubious value. I also had problems with numerous web sites that stopped working until I deleted their version. I didn't want to become a specialized programmer just to do a firewall.
