How do i know if my computer has a firewall?

i have norton antivirus does it have a firewall

Answer:
No, Norton software does not include firewall, however a newer version called the 360 does. If you have a Windows(or Mac, but its different) do not worry since you already have a firewall installed(its just in the - control panel>security). It may not be active, so just get into the control panel, security and check it out. You do not really need an additional firewall since your OS will come with a pretty good one with a lot of protected threats. And one more thing, having an additional firewall will get on your nerves big time since it will ask you about every little thing on the net. Hope this helps!

What's your IP, I'll tell you. Heh j/k, if you're using Windows XP you have one, Symantec Antivirus doesn't have a Firewall but Norton 360 and Internet Security do.

If you have Windows XP,it comes with a firewall already and it will be on as default, unless you purchase your own firewall from a different source,then it's better to turn the Windows firewall off.

Well long story short no. It's an anti virus not a firewall. Although Internet security and 360 both have Norton personal Firewall I like Norton firewall the most because you can configure to suit your internet needs it works compelety around you!
