:funny:I disabled Windows Firewall replacing it with my anti-virus s/w, no problem worked great, but; now S&D has set a firewall in-place. Whom ever I go with now the others seem to get jealous and want to be my firewall, they all leave messages wanting to be turned on again including my very first, Windows. I'm afraid to admit it, but I hate conflicts, any ideas as to whom I should go with? Oh! one more thing, I do believe in monogomy.

Hello,
The firewall in Spybot 2.0 is "no real firewall".
The SDFirewallService is something like the backbone of a firewall,
which is currently used in IE, Chrome and Firefox plugins. There's no appliance for firewall use yet.
Our recommendation regarding firewalls is Outpost from Agnitum (http://www.agnitum.com/products/outpost/).
Even the free version - Outpost Free (http://www.agnitum.com/products/outpost/download.php) will fit most users' needs.
You will find our recommendations here (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/articles/foursecuritycolumns.html).
Best regards
Sandra
