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.
