2 firewalls running ?

 Hello, I just got my 8400 dim. about a month ago, and I just realized somethin. I am running two firewalls, I guess, that's the way my computer came from Dell. In the windows sp2 security center it states that you should not run two or more firewalls at once, because it can cause some programs not to work correctly. The computer seems to be running ok, I really didnt notice any problems yet. Does any one out there have the same situation reguarding  the fact that the Dell programmers did this and why?. If so let me know, that would be greatly appreciated, by the way, my anti-virus software is Macafee.  Thanks

    Typically when you install mcaffee it disables the control of the microsoft built in firewall.  Open up your control panel and access the security center.  It should tell you in there what firewall you are currently running.

    I went into security center, and it said that  " at least one of the firewalls installed on this computer is on"  I dont know if that is telling me which one? Is there another way of knowing, and if  so how do I get that info, at least I know now that only one firewall is running, I just don't understand why it  says in security center and in the Macafee window that both firewalls are on ???????????     Thanks
