If I have Norton Internet Security, but I activated limewire do I still have firewall protection?

Question

In the bottom right of limewire it shows a little globe and the globe lets you know if you have a firewall. Mine says I dont. Do I?

Answer 1

you still have firewall evn though u download a norton internet security. but if the globe doesnt have a bricked wall bloking it then u do not have firewall. i highly recommend that u should have one. if u want some instructions here they are : if you have windows xp. ..


Intructions :

go to start
control panel
click: network and internet connections
click windows firewall
next: tab : general. if off turn it on
go to exceptions
it says all the stuff that allows you to mark so that the
program will be blocked by the firewall
scroll down for limewire
and if you see there's a check mark on it. un mark it
u can only do this if you are the administrator .
and also mark it off it you want it to be blocked
but it should be on because a lot of virus entered my computer with out the firewall from limewire from downloading songs and videos . so, hope i helped =D

Answer 2

You have a firewall whether the globe has a wall in front of it or not. When you first install LimeWire, your firewall asks whether to let this program communicate to the internet; if you've allowed the communications, than there will be no wall in front of the globe because you've permitted LimeWire to connect to the internet. Also if you have NIS, dont enable Windows firewall; you only need one.
