RE: Windows Firewall VS Norton Internet Worm Protection, which is better??
I'm going to argue that you should use a Microsoft wireless router/firewall instead of the shitty software one built into XP SP2. It's so much better, allowing trusted applications to set up port forwarding (i.e. no dodgy Imatrojan.exe), and allowing you to have 128-bit WEP :D! And the firewall is good too, someone tried to reverse IP me, and the firewall shut him out (either that or my internet connection just cut out :P). I personally don't like software firewalls because it's just another process running that takes up valuable memory (I only got 256 mb, going for 1024 mb in new computer (h)). Anyways, another Cookie-type post, so I'll stop my pointless arguing. You should really choose what you like best.
