windows firewall?

[chris1019]

hey guys maybe you can help me with this. I recently downloaded the Microsoft Security Essentials virus software cuz i heard it was really good and its also free. The only thing is everytime i turn my computer back on my windows firewall is turned off. I get a message saying that 2 or more firewalls might conflict with each other. So this is my question. Does this MSE have a firewall with it? Should I continue to keep turning my windows firewall on or just leave it off? Oh I'm running windows vista.

Having an active firewall is part of securing the computing experience. As part of setup, Microsoft Security Essentials scans the PC to determine if a firewall is active on the PC. If no firewall protection is present, you will be given the option to turn on Windows Firewall.

mse doesn't have a firewall no.

Check your computer for other firewalls running.

Depending on your flavour of Windows, Windows 7 has its own firewall, I also remember that Vista has one, but not a very good version
