Why would you want to? However I don't believe this is possible as windows will detect one in place already.

Yeah that's what i figured! It would be like running two antivirus programs. Only reason why i ask is because i purchased this computer with windows 7 and it came with a free 15month subsciption of trend micro and i saw it had the firewall on it as well. I just wanna keep hackers out of my computer.
Chances are trend disabled the windows firewall as normal practice.
Your user control would be giving warnings about the firewall if there was a problem.
