Default Which Firewall?

Q+A please, Which firewall to use? Windows defender or Avira premium security suite firewall. I only ask because I have heard the Avira firewall is a little weak. Sorry about my spelling and thanks in advance for any help. Shaun...

You will want to deactivate or uninstall the Avira firewall if you switch to Comodo. Just like antivirus you should only ever run one at a time. Using two firewalls on the same connection could cause issues with connectivity to the Internet or other unexpected behavior and most likely slow the PC's performance.
