Calling all Super Tech Guru's - Firewall Dummy help with Windows XP & Nor Sec Ste 4.2.0.12

 

XP Windows Firewall & Norton Security Suite 4.2.0.12 Firewall conflicts.  As of now, I can't have either turned on & if I do the "Fix Now"  to turn the Norton one on - then it knocks me off the internet & I can't connect at all? 

 

& it won't function as far as internet connection if I turn Windows Firwall on in the System.......

 

Norton indicates that without the firewall on I'm vulnerable to hackers & all attacks - yet it doesn't ever find any

viruses or malware even with complete scans.  Computer now slow & there is malware on there - so I need Help Super Tech Gurus!

 

Please help me fast, dear sirs/madams.

 

Best regards,
