Panda 2010 firewall and Windows 7 64 Bit firewall conflict !

[Phantasm]

Hello All,

I keep getting a message in the lower right corner saying that my Panda 2010 firewall is not active and asking if I want to make Panda 2010 my default firewall or use the Windows 7 firewall. I select to use Panda 2010 but the message reappears all the time.

Thank You !

Update - This only seems to happen when the computer wakes up. Here is a screen shot.

Hi.
Im also having a firewall conflict and i get the same messege "firewall conflict issue", but my is more of a trouble as it takes down my Browsing and DNS on my computer.
After uninstalling Panda AV 2010 PRO and reinstalled it not using the firewall it works like a charm.
Im using Windows 7 x64 with PANDA 2010 AV PRO.

Add me to the list. I made the mistake of upgrading to Win 7 Home (32bit) from a perfectly good XP version. I have tried everything in my power to disable the Win 7 firewall, but I keep getting the same Panda AV 2010 popup, sometimes as much as 5-6 times an hour, other times once or twice a day. I don't see any replies to your posts-- did any of you fix it on your own? And if not, how do we attract the attention of a Panda tech? (I'm new at this, Panda has been trouble-free for me since version 4.)

MS should have named the Home Premium version "Windows 7 for Dummies." Ive been working with MS products since 1985 and I have never seen an OS so difficult to modify. TIA.

Hello to all

Try disabling the Windows firewall through the control panel.
If this doesn't work, set the Windows firewall service to Manual start type. To do so follow these steps:
Go to start -- run -- type services.msc and press OK
Locate the service named Windows Firewall, double click it, and set the start type to manual
Accept the changes.

Thank you, Jorge. I never realized it was in services.msc or I would have tried it earlier. I'll let you know how it works in a day or two. Is it save to disable it completely and let Panda handle everything the way I always set it to?

Hello

Is it save to disable it completely and let Panda handle everything the way I always set it to?

Yes, it is safe as long as the Panda firewall is enabled.

Many thanks, Jorge. I'm in unfamiliar territory with Win 7 and hesitate to do anything that might be catastrophic. Setting Win Firewall to Manual seemed to do the trick. I'm really getting fed up with Win 7's constant warnings, prohibitions and need for permissions. Ubuntu is looking better every day. Thanks again.
