If I'm running Comodo, is it advisable to turn off Windows Firewall? General wisdom on discussion boards makes that to be the case. I knew this from the past.
However, in my experience, running a third-party firewall always disabled Windows. That doesn't seem to be the case now; both are running. So, I'm wondering if the old rule about conflicts still applies.
Unbeknownst to me, both have been running for some time. I assumed Comodo would disable Windows. I've noticed no conflicts.
Win 7, 32 Bit
Thanks in advance for your opinions.

Re: Windows and Comodo Firewalls.....
Hi,
When you install Comodo, it should automatically disable the Windows one.
& It's not a good idea, as you stated, to run 2 of anything that function the same, especially firewalls or AV etc.
Suggest you disable the Windows firewall.

Thanks for the input.
I thought that was the correct thing to do.
