2 firewalls

[34erd]

Sorry if this is a repeat of another thread, but I have 2 firewalls on my system. The integrated nvidia one, and windows default. Will these conflict with eachother? Which one is better? Also once I install my panda security suite (yes I know its dumb to not have it installed yet ) will I need to disable them?

And is Kapersky or whatever its called really that much better then panda because I just purchased another year of it 3 months ago. Does anyone know if you can run panda on 2 different computers?

Running multiple firewalls can cause conflict. Between the Nvidia and Windows, iw ould probably say the Nvdida is better, but dont quote me on that. And im not sure about the other programs, as ive not used them. So ill let the security experts take over

As elmar said, having 2 software files may cause conflicts. If you want more than 1 firewall though, pick up a hardware firewall in addition to your software firewall.

multi firewall can also slow down your computer. Just pick one. I stick with SVP2 firewall one. Its better.

Well I think the nvidia is hardware.

I wouldn't use either. They are both ok but not nearly as good as one like Zonelabs.
