RE: Windows Firewall VS Norton Internet Worm Protection, which is better??
It really is personal choice.  SP2 has an AWESOME firewall... personally I use both... I just SP2 and McAfee - I like both... I kinda like McAfee, never used Norton before but I have used Zone Alarm...

it really comes down to WHAT YOU feel most comfortable with.  The windows firewall in service pack 2 is a million times different then the internet connection firewall in service pack 1.  It is an excellent firewall for free protection. 

I have service pack 2 training; here is the information about incoming and outgoing traffic:

> Windows firewall drops all unsolicited incoming traffic that does not correspond to either traffic send in respond to a request of the computer (solicited traffic) or unsolicited traffic that has been specified as allowed (exceptions).
> Windows firewall does not drop outgoing traffic, with the exception of some internet control message protocol (ICMP) messages (packets sent to an incorrect gateway server or network packets that had expired).
