You know, I'm _tired_ of Norton Internet Security not letting me know
whether or not my Windows firewall is up or not.  It seems to not handle
notification/updates to the Windows Security Control Panel correctly.

At this point, I think I much rather use the nForce4 Firewall and Anti-
Hacking features, which seem to be much more intuitive, Windows
integrated and -- best of all -- offers complete control, with another
anti-virus solution, then deploy any more Symantec software.

I hope other chipset vendors follow nVidia's lead.  The nForce4's
integrated NIC packet filter, integrated HTTP management with
Windows software-side support is far, far better than Norton
Firewall IMHO.
