Windows 7: Kaspersky Internet Security 2010, Firewall ?

hi !

i´m going to install Kaspersky Internet Security 2010, which component is the Firewall ?



i don´t want to install it since i´m using Comodo´s FW instead,
and i really don´t want KIS to mess up...

I hope you do not think that I am out of line, but I truly just want to help. Look at some of the posts. Kasp. has caused a lot of problems. Many just wind up uninstalling and even that is a problem. Compare it to MSE, free from Microsoft, Microsoft Sec Essentials. Whatever you choose, I wish you the best.

hi !

yes, i know about previous problems with KIS, but i also know that many are reporting that KIS 2010 works very well.
and it´s also free, since i have a license...

as you can see from my signature, i´ve been using Avira & MSE,
i have installed Windows 7-Enterprise today and want to test KIS.

but, my question is: which component is the firewall ?

If you are already using comodo firewall, go for kaspersky anti virus instead of full suite.

hi !

thanks for the tip, but i was thinking about using KIS including FW later on.
found out that the FW is called web-antivirus (?!).
problem solved, KIS doesn´t like Comodo, so i´m going for another combination instead.

Kaspersky Internet Security actually has a very good firewall I would just use KIS or you could switch and use Comodo Internet Security since you obviously like their firewall

hi !

no, i don´t want Comodo Internet Security.

Hi, hackerman1. (Yes, its the same Corrine from TWC ).

You will need to do a custom install if you do not want to remove the Comodo firewall. See Installation / Uninstallation

I take it you are planning on uninstalling MSE and Avira (and hope that you don't have them both active now.)

hi Corrine !

welcome to sevenforums, nice to see that you too found the best Windows 7-forum.
very nice to have another security-expert & MVP here.

mods: sorry for cross-posting in 2 threads, but someone else might need the info here too...

yes, i know that i can install KIS without firewall, i tried to install, but it wanted to uninstall Comodo´s FW, because it´s KIS A/V-component is non-compatible with Comodo´s FW.
the BIG problem is that KIS is non-compatible with a lot of other A/V´s & FW´s...

can Comodo´s FW really be used together with KIS ?

"uninstalling MSE and Avira ?"

i installed Windows 7-Enterprise yesterday, so they are not installed....

Thanks, hackerman.

I was going by your "my security" list.

As to KAV, my contacts at the Kaspersky forums deal with malware so you may need check the KAV forums: Kaspersky Lab Forum or Kaspersky Fan Club Forum.
