Windows firewall + other firewall?
Is it bad to have 2 firewalls up like this? I have windows and comodo. I heard you shouldnt have 2, and that windows firewall sucks, but that was before windows 7. What now?  | My System Specs |

Windows Firewall is excellent to control both outbound and inbound connections.
If you don't have any problems, running both should not create any issues.
Common advice though, is to run only one software firewall at a time. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number self built

WF is excellent, yeah. The only reason I explained how having both should not cause issues is because users always complain when I tell them to run only one. I didn't feel like long drawn out explanation so I skip all that now and tell them 2 are fine. And their resources are used instead of my brain and reasoning skills.
