He is probably using avast! Internet Security Firewall component only, although windows 7 firewall does coexist with avast! Internet Security Firewall component. Thing is not everyone is aware that they can both be turned on.

Oh i dont know that windows firewall can be used alongside avast Is, but I still prefer to turn off windows in built firewall when i have avast IS on my security.

No worries. Not many users are aware.

avast! firewall module is like Webroot's firewall module that can be turned on along with Windows 7 Firewall (basic core concept that is).

I believe Panda Cloud Pro as well but not sure.

RE: Stranger Security Configuration

If I'm correct you can run Windows Firewall along side any AV/Internet Security Suite if you configure it correctly.

Not any AV (Internet Security versions that incorporate firewall), but some. ESET is the prime example. ESS will turn off W7 Firewall for example and they cannot coexist.

If memory serves me right KIS is the same as the example above in this post.

I know Trend used to turn off the Windows Firewall, till they got rid of their firewall completely and added a Windows Firewall Booster.

RE: Stranger Security Configuration

I was aware Bioz, that Windows 7 firewall does co exist. In fact it co exists with the following suites.
Kaspersky IS (I always have it on as I dont get all my ports stealth on GRC and getting Win Firewall solves the problem)
Quickheal
Avast (same reason as for kaspersky)

You will pass grc test even if windows firewall off in avast internet security,for kaspersky you have to tweak and for quickheal windows firewall should turn on :)

Ease of use = Hard and slow too
Scan = Take 20% more time then kaspersky,bitdefender (very slow 1st scan)

Look = Good
Web Protection = Excellent (block bad website very effectively)
Detection = Yet to test (will report soon)

Overall= 4/5
