Default Comodo Firewall pro?

It says to uninstall any third party firewalls before installation so
does that mean that I leave windows firewall installed?

Just disable the Windows firewall before installing Comodo. XP's
security center will recognize Comodo and accept it.

Windows Firewall is not a "third party" firewall as it is created by
Microsoft. Third party software are software that are not created by
microsoft.

I hope you're not going to regret installing "Phoney Baloney ware" to your
precious operating system

Be careful installing Commodo Pro, as a low spec PC will run slower with
it installed.

One should disable it nonetheless before installing Comodo. Having two
software firewalls running will not work.

And "low spec" is? I have it running on an Athlon XP 2200 with one gig
of RAM and I am experiencing no performance problems at all.

Windows firewall only protects from traffic coming in and does nothing
to flag traffic going out. So, yes, one needs a proper firewall, not the
Windows crap.
