Hello, my name is Eric White, and today we're going to talk about, how to remove a Firewall. First thing you're going to want to do is go to your start button, go up to your control panel, and then go to Windows Firewall. Now I have my control panel so it to fly out like this, but when you go to it it'll probably look like this. Go ahead and find Windows Firewall, double click it and open it up, here are the options. You have on or off, if you want to remove it just click off and then click okay. Now I have to say that I don't recommend running without the Firewall on, the Firewall is one of the few things that's protecting you from intruders, but you do run into the occasional situation where you need to connect to something and it's only temporary and you have to turn it off. In those cases, turn it off, do what you need to do and then turn it right back on. And that's how you remove a Firewall.
