Answered: XP Windows Firewall question

Newfan · 11-04-2008

Hi I have just installed Noton Internet Security 2009 on my PC (after having NIS2008) and have just discovered the windows firewall is still turned on. Is there any conflict with having NIS2009 firewall and the XP firewall on at the same time or should I switch the XP firewall off.

I am pretty sure when I installed previous versions of Norton Internet Security the XP firewall was switch off but I just want to make sure of the correct setting.

If you are running the Norton Internet Security Firewall, Norton recommends disabling the Windows Firewall.
