    I have the complete Kaspersky Internet 7.0 suite and it has firewall included. Does anybody know anything about virus programs that include a firewall and how reliable said firewall really is? Would it be a good idea to download Commodo and let both firewalls run, while disabling all of the Windows stuff?

    That would be a very bad idea. Use one and stick with it.

    From what I understand your router (if you have one) may be responding to the ping request but not your computer.

    No I think it's the firewall because OA says this about ping tests: "A ping is not a leak. OA does not (default settings) stop pings. If it were using a TCP connection, or resolving an IP address (which would use DNS) then it would be stopped."
