Ok. I think I’m using the latest version. Will look into whether there’s a firewall built in or not.

They (firewall/anti-virus) are doing separate things. Some versions of Norton anti-virus have a firewall built in (what version are you using?) If you can’t verify that a firewall is running I would suggest turning the Windows firewall on.

When I bought my current laptop in 08/09 someone told me I shouldn’t use Windows firewall if I already have anti-virus installed. Is that correct? They said the anti-virus won’t work properly if the firewall is on. So I’ve had the firewall off basically ever since then. I hope that’s not a problem.
