Hello , Even if you disable "Windows Firewall" , the Security Center will
show Firewall is "On" when there is yet another firewall or a "Personal
Firewall" enabled . Wireless routers will have a "Setup" page .. check this
firewall setting also .

Turning off the service will disable Windows Firewall which is the only one
I'm concerned about. There are no others. Thanks for the input.

Great. I just hope you re-enabled it before going online, if you don't have
another firewall.

I have an application that is giving me problems with the install. It is
recommended by the manufacturer to turn off all anti virus and Windows
Firewall before installing. When I open my Windows Firewall settings the
option to turn off Windows Firewall is greyed out as well as the defualt
"on" selection which obviously I cannot change either. Why is that and how
do I go about turning off Windows Firewall so that I may install this
application.
