Good Morning,

Can you install more than one firewall in an OS?

If so, can you give me an example of what firewalls are being used?

Just a curious question....You can, but it's generally not advisable to do so.One AV program and one firewall one a computer. More than that and you will have problems.

Firewalls protect against hackers and malicious intruders. You need to download a free firewall from one of these reliable vendors.

Remember only install ONE firewall

1) Comodo Personal Firewall (Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage" and uncheck any HopSurf and/or Ask.com options if you choose this one)
2) Online Armor
3) Agnitum Outpost
4) PC Tools Firewall Plus

If you are using the built-in Windows XP firewall, it is not recommended as it does not block outgoing connections. This means that any malware on your computer is free to "phone home" for more instructions. Simply put, Windows XP contains a mediocre firewall. This firewall is NO replacement for a dedicated software solution.

HOW DOES ONE REMOVE THE WINDOWS FIREWALL?

1. don't WRITE in all capital letters.
2. you can't uninstall the windows firewall. But you can DISABLE it and get yourself another firewall if you so choose to do so.

If you're behind a router with hardware firewall, that should make software firewall unnecessary. But if not, I'd go with Online Armor, it doesn't bug you unnecessarily.
