Hi Kerby, yes from what I gather, a lot of others on the list like AVG too. However, my question was really with regards to running AVG, but keeping my Norton 2006 firewall turned on, while turning off all of its antivirus features so as not to conflict with AVG. It would also be interesting to know what other firewalls people are using with AVG(if they are using any at all). thanks Jason ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kerby Hill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 25, 2007 12:05 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] can AVG work with Norton's firewall
