Suites Without FW?

I like the extra feature that KIS and Bitdefender TS offer, but would rather use the Win 8 firewall. Would installing one of the mentioned apps and disabling firewall cause any conflict?

The suites that I've used in the past usually give you the option of turning off their firewall. I don't think it would cause any problem.

I've not seen any issues either.

However the outbound protection is dropped doing this method.
Enabling the firewall would be better, and generally it isn't too hard to understand once you have allowed it to learn over a few days how and what needs permission- you will get some prompting.

This might have been better discussed in your other topic to keep it all together should you want to research it.
