They're both different product though. A firewall limits incoming connections and packets, and that Worm protection will protect against known worms. So, use both!
No, as far as I understand, they both do the same thing: blocking incoming/outgoing connections. I also got a message from Norton AntiVirus that I better use either SP2 Firewall or Internet Worm Protection.

My question was just: what works better? What detects/blocks more activities?
