How do you disable your windows xp firewall?

Answer by  bunnygirl (779)

When you go into your security settings, there is a on and off toggle for the firewall that turns it on. It should also appear in the menu bar on the lower right as a little green shield with a check in it if it is on and you can click that to access security settings to turn it off.

Well there should be a option under the control panel. This should list all the windows security feature. There will be a tab that says windows firewall. Click into this and it should let you turn it off. Just make sure to have a secondary firewall running to keep your pc safe.

Click on "START", "Control Panel", "Network and Internet Connections". Then, you should see "Windows Firewall" If you click on this, then you will see the option to turn it off.

Click the Start-button and select the Control Panel. Double-click the Security Center. On the bottom of the window, click "Windows Firewall", choose "Off (not recommended)" and confirm by clicking "OK".
