I don't think it makes an awful lot of difference which one you use to be honest, if you want to turn it off (I wouldn't personally use two in conjunction with each other), go in to control panel/security centre, at the bottom it say's "Manage security settings for:", click on Windows Firewall, click "off", click ok, click the firewall panel at the top, click "recommendations", and check "I have a firewall solution etc."
