Kaspersky firewall

Hi there,I have just got the latestr Kaspersky,but should I turn off my windows firewall?does Kasperky have one included?

 

Did you get Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 or Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0?

If you got the Internet Security Suite, yes it comes with a firewall. It should automatically disable your Windows Firewall but just in case double check, if not disable it.

If you got Kaspersky Anti-Virus then no it doesn't come with a firewall in which case you will need a third party firewall such as Comodo or ZoneAlarm.

See this thread for more information. How to Protect yourself from malware!

 

No,I got the 7.0,so should I just allow the windows firewall or is it better to go for one of thise you suggest....or are they basically the same?

 

The Windows Firewall is far from being considered a true firewall so yes definitely get a software firewall. I personally recommend Comodo Firewall. It's very easy to use and configure and it uses very little resources.

You can look at the thread from my previous post, the How To Protect thread for a list of other free firewalls.
