  Do I still need to run the Windows Firewall when I use Norton360?

  A firewall is software or hardware that checks information coming from the Internet or a network, then it blocks or allows it to pass through your computer, depending on your firewall settings.
  A firewall can help prevent hackers or malicious software (such as worms) to access your computer through a network or the Internet. A firewall can also help stop your computer from malware sent to other computers.
  A firewall is not the same thing as an antivirus program. To help protect your computer, you need a firewall and an antivirus and anti-malware program.
  
  Norton 360 from Symantec's all-in-one security service that protects your computer and your data against today's Internet threats.
   
  Norton 360 can be functioning as an antivirus, firewall, or offer according to your settings.
   
  We recommend that you only have an antivirus and a firewall on your computer, the choice of what antivirus or firewall is yours.

• Why windows media player is not reading my DVD, and how do I install windows media player decoder using my drive from windows XP Professional?

  Media player from Windows

  Why windows media player is not reading my DVD, and how do I install the windows media player decoder using my disk of windows XP Professional

  FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial
  DVD video... it requires a DVD decoder. And... He
  is not a DVD decoder on your Win XP Pro drive.

  If you could play before commercial video DVD...
  do a system restore to a time before this started
  may be your solution.

  Or you could buy a DVD decoder at the following link:

  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Info about DVD decoders:

  (works on XP/Vista/7)

  Or... you can try to download and install one of the
  Following codec packs.

  (FWIW... it is always preferable, if you create a system restore
  point before installing any software or updates).

  * Proceed at your own risk *.

  (1) K-Lite Codec Pack (full)

• Why Windows 7 displays an incorrect amount of free disk space / used on my DVD - RW drive?

  Why Windows 7 displays an incorrect amount of free disk space / used on my DVD - RW drive?

  Windows 7 can show the incorrect amount of free and used space in serious DVD - RW or DVD + RW media properties.  After burning data on the disk, Windows 7 could show that there are 0 bytes of used space and free space available on the disk capacity.  In reality, the amount of used and free space on the disk is reversed.

• I bought Version Adobe CS4 Design Standard student in 2008. Can I still use it today?

  I stopped using it in 2011 when my Macbook started failing. Can I use it on my macbook today or I can't use it because im not a student? How would I do that?

  Also, if I want to sell it, must the other person be a student? Always use the license transfer?

  You can still use it, but you might have problems to run properly on a new system - it is worth trying.  You may not sell/transfer a student permit.

• If I change my pc Windows 10 windows 7 will still be able to use my software adobe photo shop 7 is now on my pc?

  If I change my windows 7 to 10 windows will I still be able to use my photo shop software 7, which now installed on my pc?

  The question you should ask yourself if your system that works perfectly is critical to what you do. If so, wait after a few dozen output to see what happens before migrating.

  You do not want to be among the flood of people complain in these forums that old software not supported from Adobe "does not work" on an OS that came out after 12 years of release 7.

• Can I still use Windows XP after the end of support?

  I've always found XP easier to use and more effective than the two 7 and Vista and for this reason I have currently no intend to update, even after the end of support. However, to make sure it works please.

  You can still use it but less and less software will be written for it, also there is no update, and if you have a microsoft problem will not be able to help you.
