Re: security

1st of all Its a bad idea to have 2 firewalls.......Vista has one and your
Norton has one.Turn off whichever one you are NOT using.
When the message pops up does it specify which firewall???
I would suggest you turn off the Vista one under Security Center....which
also might solve your update problem
