Windows 10: Windows 10 Firewall

Hello,

I have an HP Laptop with McAfee LiveSafe installed. I believe by default McAfee has a Firewall of its own enabled on my computer.

If that's true & McAfee has a Firewall on & working right now & for the past few months, do I still need my Windows Firewall in the ON position?

Years ago if I remember correctly I had Norton & Mcafee both separately at one time or another & was told Don't have both your anti-virus & Microsoft Firewalls on at the same time.


Respectfully,

Barry

Best free AV and firewall

Can Windows Firewall block outgoing connections yet? If not, it's one step above useless.

Look into Online Armor for a free firewall.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
