SP2 and 3rd Party Firewall

Hey - I've just completed a successful install of SP2. I run Sygate's
Personal Firewall, and based on the consensus in their user groups, I turned
off the Windows Firewall to prevent potential conflicts from two active
firewalls. Just curious if the MS experts also recommend just one firewall?
If so, is there any way I can eliminate the "At Risk" bubble that pops up at
start-up, warning me the firewall is not active. Thanks for your feedback.

Hi

Control Panel/Security Center, click on the "Change the Way
Security Center Notifies Me" link in the left pane.

If the "Change the Way Security Center Notifies Me" doesn't stick
when you reboot, you can do the following:

To "solve" this problem, you can disable the Security Center service.


Start/Run --> services.msc

Find "Security Center" in the list, double click on it, set
"Startup type" to Disabled.
