Windows 7 Built in firewall

micksea241 · 02-03-2010, 18:52

I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on the firewall built into Windows 7. Also if it is any good. As I am getting fed up with Comodo keep popping up when I'm half way through a dvd or it seems to like crashing my game of Football Manager.

Any advice of setting it up properly is it just as good the way it is.

Thanks Michael

It's adequate for your needs with a router with a firewall too. No need to change the settings

Yes, leave alone and if you do like to fiddle there's plenty of treats for the more advanced user.

It's an excellent firewall.
