I have 2 firewalls, Windows Defender and Webroot's firewall, should they run together at the same time???  Thanks  Don
Yes, use both of them. Windows Defender actually uses Windows firewall and does not have one itself.

 

Webroot operates with the Windows Firewall, please see this link:

Hi zigpig

Additionally, you can read this topic:

Hello Don can I ask which OS you are running and if it's 32bit or 64bit? Also do you want Windows Defender to run with WSA as I see no reason to but if you want to there is a registry change for it to run with WSA on Windows 8.1 so please reply to my questions and I will give you further instructions.

 

Thanks,

Cohbraz answered this for me and thank you too....Don (I don't know what OS is nor do I know 32 or 64 bit) I think the link Cohbraz gave me answered it right.
Thanks for the reply Don I have given Cohbraz the Solution!

 

Cheers,

 

Daniel 😉
Glad we could help!
I was reading this article on the internet about Webroots firewall. I would also like to know to why Is windows firewall monitoring instead of webroots firewall 
Good morning Scubasit!

 

I assume you are using Windows 8, and this discussion covers it, particularly this comment which quotes Dev Joe regarding this..  Basically, on Windows 8, ALL 3rd party firewall software is simply controlling the built in Windows Firewall, no matter where the software is from.

 

I hope these links help explain :)

 
Yes it does Thanks for the info.
