Microsoft Windows 7 enables Windows Firewall by default. While this firewall offers decent protection from unauthorized entry into your computer, you may be more familiar with or prefer a different security program.

If you are not installing another firewall, Microsoft strongly encourages you to keep Windows Firewall enabled to protect your computer. Tips Writer Bio
