Alright so today I renewed my Webroot Spysweeper, which during renewal gave me free anti-virus protection, not that I'm using it. Anyways I also bought a year subscription to AVG 8.0, now this means I received AVG full security including it's firewall. This is where the computer crashes. Not instantly, usually crashes whenever the firewall has to allow Webroot to access of things, mainly internet connected programs. So here are my questions.

1. Is there any way I can prevent this conflict besides disabling one of the protection programs or AVG firewall.

2. If the answer is to the firewall is no, then is Windows Firewall for Vista as good, better, or almost as good as the AVG firewall?

3. If the answer to the protection is no, then how, besides un-installation, can I get Webroot fully disabled from my computer, because when I ended the process, Webroot's shields are still active from testing around.

Most people think the Vista firewall is pretty good. It has inbound and outbound protection but you must manually turn on the outbound protection. After turning on the outbound protection, you will find it difficult to find out which program is trying to connect out sometimes. So you'd have to make rules to allow Internet Explorer or Firefox to connect out, for example. So for example I still havent figured out which program handles adding more search providers in IE. So to add more search providers, I have to disable outbound protection and turn it back on afterwards. Other than that I am pretty happy with Vista's firewall and I still am using it.

There we go, that seemed to solve it, looked around to find a work around and found one, everything seems to be working now.
