OA is a fine Firewall i'v used it before but Windows Firewall works good for me

with a 64bit Windows operating system software can be installed as 32bit or 64bit
most install as and work as 32bit but some work and install as 64bit thats why
there is two program file folders in OS(c: )Win8 64bit or local disk(c: )on Win7 64bit
where the installed programs go

1: program file <---64bit
2: program file (x86) <---32bit

so Revo free will not uninstall 64bit software thay want you to buy the Pro
version to get that option

some other uninstallers will though

sorry nsm0220 but i have no troubles ??

Fantasy asked about 64bit software and Revo

and i doin't need a uninstaller to uninstall software because i can
manually uninstall and cleanup if i need to

it's just easier sometimes to use a uninstaller

Windows Firewall is fine for Windows Vista SP2 and higher. Optionally using Advanced Security for more blocking/allowing in/outbound traffic. For example: I use block in/out for IObitUninstaller.exe

Config looks good.. Windows 8 firewall is more then fine, no need for third party.
