But most don't have any problems with the updates so you should be fine with them turned on.
If you are sure all your Verizon protection is running then you can turn off the XP firewall.

I am thoroughly confused.
I went to control panel, to system, to Windows Firewall. It indicates it's OFF.
I then went to System, and checked on Windows Updates. It indicates that it is turned ON.
Then I rebooted my computer. I went back to the bottom right, (where the little icon for Windows Security center, and BAM,
it all came up and tells me that the Firewall is ON, and the Windows UPDATES IS OFF. Then when I click on the option to turn on Windows updates, a little message tells me
Sorry, you cannot turn on Windows Updates from here, you should go to Control Panel, System and choose Automatic Updates.
When I go to control panel the Automatic Updates thingee is already checked.
So why does my control panel tell me one thing. and my little icon on the bottom right is indicating something COMPLETELY different.
Also my Verizon Internet Security Suite is running just fine, everything is turned on, firewalls, anti-virus, anti-spyware stuff. All is turned ON.
So the big question is why, at the bottom right of my screen, there is a Windows Security Center icon , that when I bring it up, it tells me completely different stuff than when I go to Control Panel, click on System, etc. etc.
I gather I should believe what my control panel tells me, right?
this is enough to make one go nuts!!
lol
Thanks for ANYONE WHO CAN HELP ME TURN ON WINDOWS UPDATES (EVEN THOUGH I'M BEING OLD IT'S ON by my Control Panel.
