Scotman, i can turn the Windows firewall off. try as i might, i cant find the norton firewall.
need to disable it to get a program up and running.
Two routes come to mind:

1. Try prssing Ctrl-Alt-Delete. In pre-XP systems this will bring up a list of running programs. Simply select the relevant program and click 'End Task'. In XP, you'll have to select 'Task Manager' first but you should then be able to close programs.

OR
2. Go to Start > Run. Type 'msconfig' (without the quote marks). Click 'Start'. Select the 'StartUp' tab. Click to remove the tick next to the Norton program. Click 'Apply', then 'OK'. Re-boot your PC. (It will start without loading Norton). Install your new software, then repeat the process (and reboot) to place a tick alongside Norton and get it loading at boot-up.

I've found the most effective way of disabling any Norton security software, is to chuck the machine on a bonfire.
Have you tried opening the Norton programme, finding the firewall option and clicking on turn off? I have run 2005 and 2007 and that's essentially what I do to turn it off. In 2005 it was visible on the opening page and 2007 it is in settings, so with a little clicking I�m sure you'll find it in your version!
