Recently , I bought a vendor pc, which came with preinstalled antivirus program.
It overrides windows firewall and just you could not disable its firewall, without uninstalling it.
I am thinking of uninstalling it , but before that, I want to switch to alternative download, especiallyavast.
I read somewhere that all a.v programs , interfere with the windows firewalls.
I used avast for years but I do not know it is true that avast a.v interfere with windows firewall.
I want to make sure about this .

Hi,

Windows Firewall will be active if you disable or uninstall the Avast firewall component.
