I have Norton 360. Should I be running the Windows firewall, also?

I believe the Norton 360 comes with a Firewall & it is probably better than the Windows one….if you run both there will most probably be conflicts, only makes sense you just need one.

No.
Norton has a firewall.
Running two consecutive firewalls can conflict and product major issues.
Run the Norton.
Besides Windows firewall only scans incoming traffic. So it is useless beyond that and not to mention is less secure.
What you need to do is configure your firewall.
Assuming that just because you have two is a mistake.
And if you "poke holes" in your security, you made a mistake to.
