The Windows Firewall is automatically enabled by default. NIS 2004 will not
be detected by the Security Center unless you have the "WMI Update"
installed for your Norton programs. You can check if the WMI Update is
installed by going to the Add/Remove Programs window in Control Panel.

The firewalls do not have to coexist. Disable the Windows Firewall. It is
not much better than the ICF in XP SP1 and older.

I think the English version is the only one being released via Automatic
Updates on August 25th. If I am mistaken about this someone please tell me.

Not sure about Norton, i guess you would have to specify it first time.

When you install SP2 or gets installed, it would reboot and then you get a
"help protect your PC" screen at first boot up, at that time you can specify
few settings to enable it or tutn it off etc.
