I upgraded from Norton Internet Security 2002 to 2004 and ran their security check and found that it had left a hole in the firewall allowing access through the loc-srv port. I have to say that I was not best pleased about this but also found that activating the XP in-built firewall filled the hole, in fact the XP firewall appeared through the same security check to be a whole lot better than the NIS 2004 firewall. I would think carefully about purchasing a Norton firewall in the future, but just how good is the current XP in built firewall?
