Security Center will recognize, in real time, that either no, one (by name), or multiple firewalls are running. I normally use Comodo’s pre-security-suite firewall (v3.0.25.378). Why, then, would XP’s Security Center applet (and its linked XP Help Center topic) so strenously insist that one should not run multiple firewalls?Īs it did just now, when I temporarily re-activated Windows Firewall. You should NOT disable the Windows firewall as it protects your PC during the boot process before the third party firewall is loaded and initialized.
Since XP SP2 and maybe SP1 (I can’t remember that far back), a properly written third party firewall will notify Windows when it is initialized and ready to take over for the Windows firewall. Disabling the Windows firewall is definitely the wrong move now.
