| | Two firewalls? Since Vista and my Norton antivirus both have firewalls should I turn one off or leave them both on. |

| | Re: Two firewalls? Cancel my question. I was checking my security and noticed that the Vista firewall was turned off so I turned it on. A bit later I was asked if I wanted to use Norton firewall and said yes. Then went back and checked Vista firewall and it is off again. So I guess one is enough.

Yes, you should only use one Firewall and one Antivirus program at a time. Otherwise they could conflict with each other. Spyware or Adware monitoring programs can usually have multiple ones running together. Shawn |

| | Re: Two firewalls? It is never a good idea to run two firewalls or two antivirus programs.
