Solve : xp firewall + norton internet worm protection?

Answer»

Hello!

GOT a problem: security center told me not to have 2 firewalls running, what's OK. So I had a look what it is and found Norton Internet Worm Protection.

I did not install Norton Antivirus and did not find anything where I can disable this. No entry in the installed software list. No process related to Norton/Symantec.
Can anyone TELL me how to switch NIWP off, when it's not really there ...?

But I run XP SP2 from a recovery CD on a HP. Could there be the problem?

thanx a lot!

It must be there, otherwise it would not be detected.

Did the PROGRAM by any chance come with the recovery CD that you are using?Download & run 'Autoruns' from http://www.sysinternals.com for a better understanding of what is running on your computer.Fed,

got Autoruns but didn't help much in this case. Looked for anything by publisher "Symantec" or like that and every unknown thing turned out as something else.

But nice tool anyway !!!

Raptorsorry, was interrupted, ANSWER was not complete:

Raptor: it is on the CD!
I did that: install AntiVirus, switched everything off an uninstalled it again.
Now Worm Protection is gone.

Thanks all for your help!
