Windows not detecting my Webroot
I'm told that Windows is supposed to be able to recognize if I have a non Microsoft firewall and anti-virus, yet my Home Premium 64 doesn't do this. I have turned off the Windows firewall and have had to turn off notifications telling me to turn it on again.
I use Webroot Secure Anywhere and System Mechanic. The latter does detect my Webroot anti-virus, but not the Webroot firewall. I wrote to System Mechanic and they say they are dependent on Windows detecting what other firewalls and anti-virus programs are installed but mine doesn't.
Is this normal behavior? I don't recall ever seeing whatever firewall I have installed, whatever make, apart from Microsoft's own.
