  • When you activate Avast firewall the Windows firewall will most likely turn off. You can run both but its a waste of resources and there can be conflicts.

    Does the windows firewall need updating sometimes , only I normally have windows update turned off and update every 3 months or does the windows firewall update on its own.

    Firewalls don't need updating. They may occasionally need some bug fixing or for you to allow some program or other through which was blocked by default but that's about that.
