Hi soulfood,
I have never installed Kaspersky before so do not know if it automatically disables Windows Firewall.
Here's how to disable Windows Firewall:
Windows Firewall - Turn On or Off
After, if you like you can open services.msc, locate Windows Defender, stop and disable it.
Hi
I have Kaspersky anti-virus and windows firewall is turn ON.
Anti-Viruses and Firewalls have different functions. A Firewall should not be shut down just because an Anti-Virus has been installed.
Windows Firewall should only be shut if another third-party Firewall like say Comodo has been installed. Most likely the third-party Firewall will itself shut down the Windows Firewall during its installation.
Go into the settings of Kaspersky, is there anything about Firewall?
