Windows Firewall
 

Is it ok to Disable Windows Firewall?

I have noticed that it was enabled yet i have a firewall with Kaspersky Pure 3.0 and also the NAT firewall on my router.

Re: Windows Firewall
 

It was deliberately disabled for you and for good reason. Kaspersky Pure already includes a firewall. You should not mix/combine firewalls.

it was still enabled after Kaspersky thats why i asked if it was ok to disable it.

So it is enabled or it isn't? I can't figure out what 'was enabled yet' means if it isn't a typo of 'wasn't'

Re: Windows Firewall
 

it was enabled also even tho Kaspersky was installed that's why i asked if it was ok to disable knowing i had Kaspersky.

Sorry, I misunderstood. Yes it's safe to disable, a lot of third-party firewalls disable it automatically. Some people argue it's safe to run without a firewall at all when behind a home NAT router anyway.
