Do you guys turn off the windows firewall when you install a 3rd party one (Jetico, Online Armor, Comodo, etc.)?
-
Yes. Only one firewall at a time.

Usually, the new firewall will shut if off for you.
Windows will also tell you that you should only have one firewall when you install another one. -
I turned it off and stoped it from starting completely in the services.

I have NOD32, Threatfire, and Commodo. I keep shutting off my windows firewall but something keeps turning it back on. Anyone have any ideas?

Not sure. Everyone always say use only one at a time but no1 ever say why
So whoever say run only 1 next time explain why.
The best explanation is : in general use 1 firewall is enough, 2 or more could
cause incompatibility or problems.
This doesn't mean only 1 can be run at ones.
I run some tests with multiple firewalls some with internal proxy server,
routed connections over virtual pc, max was 5 firewall on 1 line.
Atm. testing zonealarm pro and vista firewall at the same time with netlimiter pro.
Not detecting any problems, only a bit heavier on the cpu. -
