We just updated one of the computers in our office with the latest XP fixes.<br />
<br />
Now, I'm having lots of problems connecting to the web, our local server, etc.<br />
<br />
In researching the problems, I discovered I now have two firewalls: my original firewall package and now the Microsoft Security Center firewall.<br />
<br />
I don't want nor need the Windows firewall.<br />
<br />
I'm willing to even go back to the original OS configuration, if that is what it takes.<br />
<br />
Any suggestions?<br />
<br />

Windows Security Center Uninstall

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.

OS Security

Microsoft Forefront, formerly known as Internet Security and Acceleration Server (ISA Server), is a network router, firewall, antivirus program, VPN server and web cache that runs on Windows servers. It includes identity management and protection systems, and discontinued systems for threat management and network protection, along with protection for Sharepoint and Exchange. The scope of discussions includes forward and reverse proxy, application and service publishing, virtual private networks (VPNs), outbound access rules, SSL certificates and network routing within either a single node or an highly-available array pairing.
