Hi Nerm

It's not a good idea to run both firewalls at the same time as I believe they can conflict and provide a lesser degree of protection that using one.

Thats right TR. You should only stick to one firewall. It is pretty senseless using two tools doing the same job - not least because it could confuse Windows (which gets confused easily enough as it is!):smileygrin:

And don't forget to re-enable one of your firewalls

I never realised that running two firewalls would be less effective so ive disabled windows firewall. i guess i thought that two would be better than one. still ive solved a problem and learned a lesson in one thread two for the price of one. pritty good value i think dont you.... thanks for your help guys..

Zina,

No, as they're not firewalls
