Norton or Comodo firewall?

[Jay34]

This is really a two part question.

1) Is the Norton Security Suite Firewall as good as Comodo?

2) If I keep Comodo, how do I make sure the Norton Security Suite firewall is completely turned off so as to not interfere with Comodo?

Currently, in this latest version of Norton, if I go to Norton > pc security > Manage firewall, I have two options:

tab 1: General Setting > which allows me to turn off 'smart firewall' and 'block all network traffic'

and also

tab 2: Intrustion and Browser protection > which allows me to turn off 'Intrustion Prevention', 'Browser protection' and 'download intelligence'.

What all do I turn off? Can I just turn off 'smart firewall' and leave the rest? Or do I need to turn it all off?

* In the firewall manager, Norton won't allow me to turn off "Stealth Blocked Ports", "Stateful protocol filter", and "Automatic File/Printer Sharing control". I'm worried that if I can't turn off ALL of the firewall settings that there will be conflicts with Comodo. ?

Still hoping there are some experts on here that might be able to help me on this. Thanks.

I use the Windows Firewall, and a Router.

You need to let just one program installed and/or running.

windows firewall is one way only. think inbound.
if your router supports inbound and outbound its ok.
My router does, and also have Kaspersky both ways.
I say one or other. ya need both ways then good to go.
also for ports. thats important.opening closing, blocking completely if needed.

Norton Security Suite Firewall is as good as Comodo.
I am using it and very satisfied with its performance.

Comodo is better than Norton in my opinion. Also like others said, Windows Firewall is the way to go.

I been using Norton for few years. In between, I have used so much different Security Softwares, including the free versions. Yet until today, I like Norton and I'm satisfied with it and yes, I renew subscriptions every year.
