Norton is just plain junk it will slow your system down and still is'nt as good as some of the free versions available on the internet.
You allready have a fire wall with windows,i sure would'nt use Nortons firewall becaues it will just create more problems for you.
Good luck

You always compute with a firewall on !!! Antivirus gets its permission from the firewall as other software installations.

depends if you have anti-virus alone or the security suite. your windows firewall should still be on with just anti-virus. with the security suite, norton firewall will automatically disable windows firewall
