Guest A usenet user Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 In the "Windows firewall" settings, the General tab, I have the firewall turned Off. In the security center, however, windows firewall is always On. How do I really turn windows firewall off?

Guest Mick Murphy Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 RE: ho do you really turn off windows firewall in XP You must be using Norton, Mcafee or Trend Micro Internet security suite. They have their own inbuilt Firewall. Check in your Security Center>Firewall ON Setting to see which Firewall is in use. -- Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia "A usenet user" wrote: > In the "Windows firewall" settings, the General tab, I have the > firewall turned Off. > > In the security center, however, windows firewall is always On. > > How do I really turn windows firewall off? >

Guest sunny_ti Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Turning off. Turning off. Hello, It might be possible that there is some another firewall on, for example which comes with antivirus etc.. If you want to turn off the windows firewall then its a good choice that you turn off the ICS/ICF service.

That was it. Nvidia does an excellent (?) job of hiding its own firewall from the user.
