My guess is that it has something to do with the fact
that your Personal Firewall is version 2003, and your
Norton AntiViurs is version 2004. My experience with
Norton in recent months seems to indicate that there is a
decided difference of some sort between 2003 and all
earlier years' versions and version 2004. You are
probably just fine, but you might want to contact
Symantec and verify that fact.
