RE: Windows Firewall VS Norton Internet Worm Protection, which is better??
Both Windows SP1 firewall and SP2 firewall only block incomming connections. They dont block outgoing. So if you got a trojan on your computer somehow, you'd be screwed. Outgoing protection is a must.

I would suggest trying out Sygate or Outpost. You could also use NIS, not sure if Worm Protection is different then the normal NIS though.
