called "Internet Worm Protection". The OP's post is ambiguous; I can't
tell if he means that Security Center is reporting two firewalls or not.
If this is what is really happening, the OP should choose between
Norton's Internet Worm Protection and the Windows Firewall and not run
both of them.
Otherwise, the OP should come back and clarify the situation by
reporting the exact text of the message from Windows Security Center.
