    Sorry if this is a stupid question!
    I installed Kaspersky anti virus suite today (see posting below) and it has been running a scan since about 7 this morning(6 hours or so) and has now scanned 58,000objects.
    The suite has Firewall but I also have Windows Firewall running.
    Should I disable one of them?

    It's not normally a good idea to have 2 firewalls running. What OS do you have? XP? Vista? 7?

    Yeah in that case disable the XP firewall and use the Kaspersky one.
