Security softwares and Windows firewall have work to report their status to
"Security Center" in XP SP2. Norton has option to hide its status of Securty
Center however Win Firewall can't hide its status.
If Security Center shows Windows Firewall is off , it is really OFF.
If Norton has red X on it , it is really off.
If this disappears as soon as you started your computer , you're probably ok.
If your Norton remains red X on it or Security center still say Windows
Firewall is off , you can suspect infection.
