If you are talking about the built in Windows Firewall the you can't delete it.

If you are using Vista then you can't uninstall Windows Defender. It is built in to the OS. If it is XP then go to add/remove programs and uninstall it.

CA should disable the Windows firewall when you install it so it will not cause any problems.

Vista - Disable Windows Defender: Open Windows Defender, click on Tools->Options, select Administrator Options, and uncheck the Use Windows Defender box. Confirm that you do indeed want to do this, click Close.
