How would installed firewalls affect any monitoring device I install?

The software you mention don't act as OS firewalls. That is, they don't shield your computer against attempts to record information. Spy-bot and ad-aware rely exclusively on a database of known malware. If you want software that can also act as an OS firewall, try Zone Alarm.\nThat said, when you install the monitoring software, make sure to answer "yes" to any messages you might receive from your security software asking for permission to allow the monitoring software to work. Then, use the computer for a while, perform some routine tasks (checking e-mail etc.) to see if any more security messages come up. If they do, answer "yes" (checking the "remember my answer" box, of course). Then check to make sure that the security software has adequately logged your activity. That done, you're ready to go.\n\nAs one previous user mentioned, if the monitoring software is remote, then the McAfee software will attempt to prevent it from running. You can bypass that problem too by clicking "yes" on each security prompt to allow the software to run through the firewall.

A hardware firewall (your NAT router) and a software firewall is fine. In fact it is a prefered configuration. In the case that any malware gets on your machine the software firewall will alert you if the malware program is trying to "phone home".\n\n Two software firewalls is a no-no, however.\n\nWindows firewall is useless in this case as it only monitors inbound packets. McAfee is a two way firewall monitoring both incoming and outgoing traffic.\n\nLeave Windows firewall off and leave your McAfee PF and your router's firewall both on.

You can disable the firewall temporary or you can put it in the allow list to pass by...I am not sure what type of firewall you run but its best you just disable it until you finish downloading it...

for one if your using a windows pc the firewall supplied is junk. i could hack tht with my dog at the keyboard. get you self a better reputed fire wall like one by symantics. or which ever one you choose. install it an then it should ask you everytime you accses a program tht connect via internet. if you know the program is safe enable it to accese. if you are worried it is nopt then dont let it use the net.

If your Firewall Window is greyed means, you have some third party Firewall on your system which has disabled your Windows Firewall..\n\nIf you use Norton or Mcafee Antivirus, this is quite possible...\nAlso, if you use any third party firewall knowingly or unknowingly, it would disable your Windows Firewall so that, both softwares dont clash with each other...

What Firewall setup are you using?

You set your firewall if you have one to a higher setting...

Yes.  Having two firewall applications will cause conflicts, and will not protect your PC as well as having one program.

make sure it does not have other firewalls installed left from the company such as Black Ice, Zone Alarm or the XP firewall enabled. Also check for port blocking. Ping certain ports.
