Firewall Windows and Norton

[buddyorliz]

I have Norton internet security on my XPsp2,
In the event viewer I continually get messages reguarding windows firewall.
Since I use Norton I don't think I need windows firewall (don't even think
you can use both) So how do I get that perticular message to quit being
recorded in event viewer?

I have plenty of messages in event viewer everyday with out having one I do
not need.

NIS has disabled your native Firewall, which you "do" need.
I suggest you uninstall NIS and find another security software that
does //not// do this. BigBox Stores just love pushing Symantec product.

Thanks,
I have always used Norton and except for the first year with Norton - all in
one- or what ever it was called haven't had any issues.

Is there something You would recomend?
Are they All Synmatic products?

Thanks

I would recommend a "stand-alone" anti virus product, like NOD32
<http://www.eset.com> *not free* - stay well away from so-called Security Suite
product, especially anything Norton/Symantec.

Good luck.
