Windows Firewall should not prevent it installing.. in fact, after
installation, Norton will turn Windows Firewall off whether you want or
not..

I have recently noticed that Windows Firewall on my system is being turned
"Off" whenever I reboot my system. I'm running Win XP Family, SP2 with
ZoneAlarm and Norton AntiVirus. What gives?

TIA for your help,
Bill

Zonealarm turns it off.. you do not need to have two software firewalls
running, and Zonealarm does a better all around job..
