Firewall?

[hello45044]

Does Norton Internet Worm Protection that is built in to Norton Antivirus count as a firewall? Or do I need to get Norton Personal Firewall?

And I have Norton Antivirus 2005, is it really necessary to get 2006?

i think that when your subscription runs out, you wont be able to update it. i.e. making you suceptable to new viruses? isnt this correct?

yep, thats why I just got ZoneAlarm.

So, I do need a firewall other than Norton Internet Worm Protection?

I'm not trying to be annoying, but can someone please answer my question?

Norton has got a firewall, nothing to do with the worm thing. If you want to get shot of it, see the sticky.

Edit: just noticed you only got norton AV, yes you need a firewall.
