BD Internet Security 2018 vs Windows Firewall
Hi
I have just installed BDIS v2018 64 bit onto my Windows 10 computer.
All seems to be running OV.
I just noticed that in the system tray there is an Icon for Windows Defender security Centre..
It says that apart from antivurus, the other Windows Defender components are active - including the firewall.
Is this correct ?
I thought that the installation of BDIS 2018 disabled Windows Defender ?
Is ir OK to have both the Windows Defender firewall, and also the Bitdefender firewall open at the same time.
BDIS certainly does not seen to worry about this at all.
Thank you

Hi again
Please can someone give me their thoughts on this ?
Thank you0 -
Win Firewall should be auto disabled after installing BDIS. Probably it is the notification centre. Although I have an issue where I am notified that both Win and BD firewall are disabled. Which is untrue. BD bug.0 -
Same here - both firewalls are shut off! I use to be able to fix that problem by rebooting but now - that doesn't work. I would feel much better if I could test the firewall to make sure it is running. How did you validate that BitDefender's Firewall was actually running? Wonder if there is a way to check through the Windows Task Manager (tasks processing)? I checked via the Windows Services Menu and it says Windows Firewall automatically started (and running) and everything on BitDefender has started...interesting.
Thanks!0
