Vista - Vista Firewall question

01-06-2009

I made Norton's firewall my default firewall and, since then, I've been
getting the message that "Windows Firewall needs my permission to continue."
I just cancel it. However, it is a recurring message and I would like to get
it to go away permanently. So, how do I get it to stop poping up? Thank you.

Windows FW should have been automatically turned off. Perhaps the OPs
version of Norton is a bit out of date?
