Re: Change Order Of Startup Programs?

I stopped using symantec products some years back so I can't say for sure.
That doesn't sound right though. The firewall should be in place when the
network starts. You might try the symantec support site (though I don't hold
much hope. One of the reasons I no longer use their products) to see why
this might happen. The tray icon may just be the user's gui interface and
not the actual firewall starting up.
