Vista Firewall question

I made Norton's firewall my default firewall and, since then, I've been
getting the message that "Windows Firewall needs my permission to continue."
I just cancel it. However, it is a recurring message and I would like to get
it to go away permanently. So, how do I get it to stop poping up? Thank you.

Windows FW should have been automatically turned off. Perhaps the OPs
version of Norton is a bit out of date?

Asking a question?
Please tell us the version of the application you are asking about,

Hi,

Control Panel/Security Center, click on Windows Firewall in the left column.
Click on "change settings" and disable it.

Why did you do such a thing?
