Should Windows Firewall be running along with Webroot SecureAnywhere?

Best answer by Baldrick

Hi jpotterveld
 
Welcome to the Community Forums.
 
The simple answer is 'YES' because WSA's own Firewall only cover outbound connections and it leaves the protection of inbound connections to the very good and ribust built in Windows Firewall. So please make sure that you leave it on.
 
If you prefer not to use the built in WIndows Firewall then you must install an alternative 3rd party firewall to make sure that the inbound connections to your system are covered./
