NAV has its own firewall called Worm Protection, I think. You should not be running two firewalls, you should only have the Norton Worm Protection firewall on, and Windows Firewall should be turned off. Turn off Windows Firewall in Start, Control Panel, Security, Windows Firewall. Ignore any warnings Windows gives about doing that. Then go back to NAV and make sure the worm protection is turned on.
The "Advanced Firewall" might refer to the NAV worm protection (It does NOT refer to anything in Windows Vista), but on my Norton Internet Security 2008, it refers to NIS 2008's advanced firewall, which is better than NAV's and Windows'. As long as worm protection is on you can ignore it.
Also, if NPC says antivirus is on and up to date, and nothing needs to be fixed, than that warning about AV being off is false. My old computer with the same NIS 2008 kept doing that too, even though I checked in Norton and everything was secure and up to date. There's a bug in there somewhere.
