If you just the firewall Comodo will turn off the Windows firewall as part of it's install routine. Nothing to worry about there. And yes, MSE has the anti-virus and I think but am not positive that the Windows firewall is not part of it.

Instead he put K9 web protection and snagit also desktop gadget gallery. We now cannot put any toolbars on google, the control T button doesn't work, control, alt and delete does! How do you put toolbars like edit etc on google. Has he got enough protection etc on his computer? We mentioned to the engineer we weren't keen on the change but he said we shouldn't have toolbar buttons as we can get viruses. I look forward to your reply
