Symantec appreciates you pointing this mistype on the web FAQ out to us, 
the Windows 
Firewall should not have been included as a part of this answer.    The 
correction
has been made to the posted page and should read as follows:

Q: Which Symantec products will the product update apply to? 

A: The product update applies to customers who use Symantec Client 
Security, Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition, and Symantec AntiVirus 
Enterprise Edition if their client systems are not members of a Windows 
domain. This is because Windows XP Service Pack 2 does not enable the 
Windows Security Center if it detects that the computer is a member of a 
Windows domain. It also applies to administrators who choose to enable the 

Windows Security Client in a domain. Product updates for other Symantec 
products may be released in the future but none are scheduled at this 
time. 

Symantec apologizes for any confusion this may have caused.
