windows defender and avast firewall on at a same time is a good ideas or bad?
i currently set windows defender firewall, and maybe avast firewall is on and it’s no conflicted at this point, but i notices that at the forum they said is a not a good idea to set both firewall activate? ???
so what you saying is avast pro doesn’t come with firewall?
b/c i just builted my own computer with intel core 2 duo E8400 come with windows defender; and my worries is that if i install avast there might be conflict if you have 2 firewall at the same time.
Neither avast home or pro is or comes with a firewall. There is a firewall in development but that is still some time off.
I suggest you check the windows security center and that will tell you what your firewall is. As I’m of the belief that windows defender isn’t a firewall but an anti-spyware, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Defender.
So it appears that you don’t have a firewall unless you are using the firewall that comes with windows XP or Vista, but you didn’t say what your OS is.
avast is not a firewall and it has not for sure a built in firewall in neither versions home or pro and windows deffender is more of an antispyware software and as far as i know it will not conflict with avcast at all.maybe you should start considering installing a firewall as well
