Because of potential incompatibilities with third party firewalls, Windows Firewall will be turned on to protect you after you install Windows Vista. You should only disable Windows firewall if you install and enable a compatible third party firewall. If you were using a third party solution on Windows XP, you should contact your vendor to ensure you have a Windows Vista compatible program.
