You don't need the ntl software, unless you have a USB connection, but now it's installed getting rid of it might not be as easy as the uninstall routines.

I'd leave the router firewall in place, that helps protect your entire network. You may need to open ports on that though to allow your torrent software to pass.

If you have third party firewall software, rely on that instead of the Windows one. Running 2 firewalls on the PC itself is bound to cause confusion somewhere. Having said that I don't bother with any PC based firewall software and just rely on my router's protection.
