    Questions on Windows Firewall


    New to windows 10 and slowly getting up the learning curve. Have a couple of questions on my security protection. I have Norton Online Security via Comcast and was wondering if Norton had disabled Windows Defender which generally the case when a third party antivirus program is installed - however I found Windows Defender Firewall running in services? I assumed that Norton had activated a firewall but apparent that is not the case?
    Wondering if someone could enlighten me on this matter. Also does Norton Online Security or any security suite scan both of my internal SSD (C Drive) and HDD (D drive) or just the C drive with the OS?
