My security center says Norton Antivirus is my firewall????
Hello everyone,


I recently tried to install sunbelt firewall and I started to go through the downloading process but it would not install.....

I later noticed there was two firewalls listed on my security center.. one of them saying "Norton Antivirus is currently ON". I have not installed Norton at all on my computer and I tried looking for it.....I even tried looking up sunbelt....I did virus scans and that did not pick it up or remove it..... can someone help me?? Please?? I am desperate here. Thanks..

Welcome to TSG forum
A trial copy of Norton comes installed on many new computers. If you want to uninstall it, go to www.symantec.com and d/l run their uninstaller.
You are wise to run only 1 firewall and 1 antivirus. multiple of either will cause problems.
Multiple programs for spyware/malware are okay.
