Avast IS and windows firewall

[cc2150dx]

I recently Installed Avast Internet Security 2016. When I checked my windows firewall, it was enabled. Is Avast supposed to leave it enabled by default, or disable it?

Thanks,

@cc2150dx You must disable Windows Firewall, like having two anti-viruses, two firewalls is not a good idea

It says it is compatible, but this was 3 years ago so idk.
Windows Firewall & Avast
I've used Avast Firewall with Windows Firewall with no issues.

You will receive two notifications, disable the Windows firewall, or use the free avast + windows firewall

I have been trying Avast IS 2016 for about a month now and yes you do need to disable Windows Firewall manually.I have tried it with Windows Firewall enabled and experienced no problems with both running.However IS & premier are meant to be used with the Firewall component enabled and there is not much point in running both Firewalls.
Been an ongoing question for many years.
