This question has already been discussed, I am just after some
confirmation to eradicate any doubts.

I run XP (SP2), NIS 2006. I no longer want to run the NIS Firewall. Is
there any way to run NIS (exluding its firewall) and turn the Windows
firewall on by default? At the moment, I have to turn it on manually
every time I start the computer.I gather from previous posts that
running NIS means you cannot set the Windows firewall to be on by
default.

Check out this Symantec FAQ regarding their product compatibility with
Windows Firewall.

There is a setting in Symantec Client Security to force the Windows Firewall
to be disabled. I'm not too sure if the same config applies to NIS.

Hello ThorstenGailing .

What you have is very bad problem ,I think.
Yes ,you are very right ,when Norton IS is installed you can't have your
Windows Firewall ON permanently.That's why I always recommend people who do
want Norton to have only Norton Antivirus (never Norton Internet Security)

You want to use Windows Firewall ( very good :) ) so :

Either 1 or 2

1) Contact Symantec and ask them to change to Norton Antivirus 2006
Do insist on what you want.
2) Just leave Norton IS 2006 and use another security software.

May be 1 is the most appropriate .
