If I install one of these firewall programs, should I still keep my Windows firewall running?

No one firewall is enough 2 is like putting a door next to a door if you have to make a doggy door you need to make 2 and frankly on vista and windows 7 the default firewall is plenty, in reality the firewall that you should care about is the one on the router, you shouldn't disable that just because it messes with games but manually enter in ports that you want open when you run into issues.

No, but it shouldn't be an issue. Almost all of the installers will disable your Windows Firewall automatically. You shouldn't run two firewalls, just like you shouldn't run two of the same type of anti-virus. They cause all kinds of annoying conflicts.

I strongly recommend Comodo's free firewall - it is much better than Windows Firewall (and ZoneAlarm).

I have the feeling the OP has not been updated recently because Microsoft Security Essentials is not on that list, and by almost all standard tests it is better than Avast.

I decided to necro this thread because after searching the internets I hadn't found a definite answer to an urgent issue - and I know tl.net has members who can and will help me out:

Is it completely safe and OK to plug in a (most likely) infected usb stick, cancel any autorun hokey pokey that might appear and format it? Data loss is not an issue.

Giving this a little bump, attempting to fix a computer whose problem is (blue screens upon trying to get on the internet)

So that sucks.

Just going to be following the suggestions on scanning and removing of viruses, etc. If anyone has some updated information on a programs out there that would be great.

whats the blue screen error code?


where can i find that? the screen pops up, and is gone within seconds.

Also, booting in safe mode with networking (still same problems)


I ran malwarbytes and it is 90 days overdue for an update, is there a latter version listed some where? (or can i update it and just copy it on my flash drive and then run it?)

The website I linked goto it and look at those 2 pictures, it will show you the actual BSOD and then the Bluescreenview, you will see that Bug Check Code is what your looking for. Same with the Bug Check String
