Hey guys, can anybody help me?
Do I need to use Windows Firewall with Avast Home Edition? Tks
Yes because avast! 4.xx does not include firewall but this coming avast 5’s suite was said to have one.
Hi broomstick,
Shortly, yes. If you are not running a firewall at all, you should at least enable the windows one.
It is also recommended to run a 3rd party firewall that can prvide outbound protection (instead of the windows one), such as:
Outpost Firewall
Online Armor
PC Tools
To name a few of the top of my head, all with free versions as far as I know.

Not specifically the Windows firewall, but you should most definitely use a firewall, yes.
Avast is an AV only; version 5 will contain an optional firewall with the pro.
If you choose to use a third party firewall, the Windows one should be turned off before installing another. Be offline while doing this.
What OS do you use?
Tks guys you’ve been extraordinary!!! Greetings

Do I need a firewall, and if so, what kind? http://ask-leo.com/do_i_need_a_firewall_and_if_so_what_kind.html
Optional firewall in the pro?I thought the firewall was only included in the suite.
Yes. It’s not optional.
