I have a question about turning off the email scanning in Norton anitvirus.
Is there a relationship between their email scanning feature and
firewalls?
Because they require me to have my firewall off, otherwise it somehow
inteferes with their program.

By "their program", do you mean Norton Anti Virus? In any case, Norton
software is a plague. You would be better off with something like Alwil
Avast, or Grisoft AVG for anti virus work. The Windows XP firewall is
sufficient for protection from incoming connections. There may be some good
firewalls for outbound protection, but I haven't used one since I gave up
Kerio Persoal Firewall 2.1.5. I have no software firewall recommendation
beyond what Windows XP offers.
