Is the newest Norton AntiVirus a firewall?

You can use Norton Antivirus and ZoneAlarm.



ZoneAlarm Firewall Free.

Easy-to-use firewall blocks hackers and other unknown threats.



* Systematically identifies hackers and blocks access attempts.



Automatically makes your computer invisible to anyone on the Internet.



Use ZoneAlarm if you normally use Windows Firewall.



Disable Windows Firewall after downloading ZoneAlarm if it's not done automatically.



**NOTE: Only have one antivirus program and one firewall installed on your computer.

"Microsoft recommends that you have only one anti-virus program installed on your computer."



Anti-adware/malware/spyware are ok to have more of.



Try a online antivirus scanner and a online anti-adware/malware/spyware scanner in safe mode with network to clean up your computer BEFORE you download anything. This because the program you download can get infected.



Disable "System Restore" for Windows Me and XP, then restart your PC to clean your system restore points for viruses, spyware, adware etc.



Now restart in safe mode.



To get in safe mode Press "F8" upon bootup.



Select "Safe mode with Networking".



Go to Start 鈥?Run - type iexplore http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html Enter(ok).



Do a full system scan. If something is found, delete it, reboot and do the same again in safe mode with network.
