Appreciate input from our expert mods on this question: Webroot has a  firewall which compliments Windows Firewall. Would a 3rd party firewall be better??  Would ones PC be more secure instead of Windows Firewall??  Or would a third party firewall be incompatible with Webroot?? 
      The are some great firewalls out there, however what are your thoughts on this?

Good question!  As I do not use additional firewall software I do not know all of the answers, but I found a KB article that might help!

As most people use a Router and Windows firewall is great for inbound protection and WSA firewall is only a outbound most users don't need a third party firewall I just find most other firewalls out there are to bloated IMO.

Appreciate your insight on this. Based on what you have said , i am in good shape as I am behind a router and of course Windows Firewall along with Webroot. With that said I am satified. Thanks again.:D
