* Original title: Microsoft Firewall

I read that Windows has a built-in firewall. I disabled MS Security Essentials that I use another antivirus - but I like to keep the firewall. How can I determine if it is effective? If this is not the case, how can I activate it?

(Moved to programs)

You cannot run the Windows Firewall and any other 3rd party firewall at the same time. By default, most if not all AV software (competent) devs teams to automatically disable the Windows Firewall when their own is installed to avoid unnecessary conflicts that would occur if both have been enabled at the same time.

If you want to have the Windows Firewall, you will need to uninstall your antivirus (if it comes with a firewall) 3rd party. If this isn't the case, then you can keep the Windows Firewall is turned on, because it's good.
