i am running win xp pro sp2 and have just installed norton antivirus 2005.
NAV recommends i use it instead of windows for my default firewall
protection. should i turn off the windows firewall and rely just on the
norton antivirus, (which checks for worms, trojan horeses, etc by default),
or run both?

thanks
