Title: Widows firewall on Avast IS?
Post by: tommytinkroom on July 06, 2012, 02:28:33 PM

Hi,
Is it ok to have Windows firewall on and have Avast IS firewall on at the same time,
or should i disable the Windows firewall.
My os is Windows 7 home premium 64bit sp1.
Thanks in advance for any info.

Actually the avast firewall is designed to work with the windows firewall, avast firewall does not support ipv6.

No need to.  AIS firewall is designed to work with Windows 7 firewall.
