Re: Security Center reports Windows firewall and Norton Antivirus both turned on

Norton AV checks things that come in for viruses.
Windows Firewall prevents things from coming into your machine.
They are complimentary. Leave them both on.

You probably do not want two anti-virus programs running at the same time,
but that is not the case here.
