June 7, 200521 yr I have Windows Xp SP2, Norton Antivirus 2005 and Nvidia Firewall. My problem is that i cant update my virus definitions unless i disable the firewall. Can someone tell me how can i configure the firewall to update the virus definitions without disabling the firewall ? Or at least what ports and protocols uses NAV to acces the internet ?
June 7, 200521 yr I'm not sure about Nivida because i use SP2 firewall. Try finding an "Exceptions" tab or a wizard which will help you to let certain programs work.

June 8, 200521 yr You only need 1 firewall. Pick one and disable the others. Then just configure your active firewall to allow the updates.
June 9, 200521 yr I must i have had no problems with Windows Firewall, allowed programs to access the internet as i need and blocked the rest...works like a dream.

June 10, 200521 yr Author yes zonda, nvidia makes a firewall, it`s a hardware firewall suported by the nforce4 chipset. Here`s a pic
