Well, maybe, especially if Norton and Windows both think the other one is controlling the firewall. Our Windows 8 laptop came with a free bit of Norton anti-virus stuff pre-installed (30days? 90days? I don't remember...). It's pre-installed and free right? What could possibly go wrong? They wouldn't give you a system with a gaping security flaw right out of the box would they? Turns out Norton and Windows 8
don't work together so well, or at least didn't at the time. At some point in trying to figure out what was happening to her laptop it seems the firewall wasn't on and stuff got onto the computer. Needless to say Norton is gone now.
