I removed Norton Internet Security after the subscription expired. I enabled Windows Firewall from the control panel. However there is no indication that Windows Fire wall is running. Thre are no message or dialog boxes or icons in the task bar notification area indicating that Windows Firewall or Windows Security Center is running. There are icons in the notification area for Norton Protection center and Norton Anti-Virus. The Norton Protection Center Indicates: Advanced Firewall Protection … Not Available.
Security Center (accessed from control panel) indicates that Firewall, automatic updates and virus protection are on. But shouldn’t there be an icon in the task bar notifification area?
