is it recommended to turn windows firewall off while running webroot secureanywhere antivirus?

Hello murraymg,

 

Welcome to the Community Forum,

 

Essentially, the Windows Firewall for Win7 & Win 8 is very robust especially in terms of handling the Inbound so WSA cedes/allows it to handle the inbound security whilst it covers the outbound transactions.  The WSA firewall effectively replaces the Windows Firewall outbound.

 

Please see this Knowledge Base Article for more information.  And this previous thread on the subject is worth reading for more insight. And  here is the PC User Guide.

 

Hope that clarifies for you?

 

 

Kind Regards

Sherry,  

Thank you for the comprehensive answer.  I will leave both windows firewall and webroot firewall on.  Murraymg
