I'm using Norton Security and want to turn off the firewall built into
Windows XP Pro.
In the Control Panel|Security Center|Managing Settings for Windows Firewall,
I turn the firewall off by clicking the "Off (Not recommended) button. This
fire wall management setting shows the Windows firewall is off.
However, when I go back to Security Center, the firewall's green light is
still green and shows the firewall as being "On." In other words, the green
ligth on the Security Center display is in disagreement with what's shown in
the "Manage Settings for Windows Firewall" section.
Which do I believe? I've re-started the computer but get the same results.
How do I make sure the Windows firewall is off and, ideally, get the two
displays to agree.
Thanks.
