Appreciate input from our expert mods on this question: Webroot has a firewall which compliments Windows Firewall. Would a 3rd party firewall be better?? Would ones PC be more secure instead of Windows Firewall?? Or would a third party firewall be incompatible with Webroot??
The are some great firewalls out there, however what are your thoughts on this?

Good question! As I do not use additional firewall software I do not know all of the answers, but I found a KB article that might help!
