Is Security Essentials http://www.microsoft.com/Security_ Essentials/ compatable with Norton 360?
Under the philosophy that more protection is better............... 360 seems to be working just fine but it frequenlty lists the following, first that a specified IP is being protected and later that the IP has disappeared & is no longer being protected..... "IP address has disappeared from adapter Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface and is no longer being protected (IP address: fe80::8d4:3bb5:9dab:f2c3%14)." The listed IP addresses always seem to change. Are these simply attempts to pass the firewall?

Under the philosophy that more protection is better............... That isn't correct in this case. Running more than one antivirus will just cause them to interfere with each other, slow down your computer and possibly make it freeze. So pick one, any one, but not more than one... The address you've used as an example is an IPv6 address. If you're not using IPv6 and aren't using any features that require it (like Homegroup) turn it off.

You should never run more than one anti-virus program. Doing so will slow down your computer and cause problems as they conflict with each other. In my view, anything Norton is among the worst possible choices you can make. Microsoft Security Essentials is one of the best anti-virus programs, and I recommend that you uninstall Norton and replace it with Microsoft Security Essentials.
