Ashampoo Firewall V1.20

Hmmm.... it seems Ashampoo Firewall V 1.20 , can only Stealth, when I turn on Windows XP sp2 Firewall, to work in conjunction with it. I wish I do not have to turn Windows Firewall to make my PC stealth. Any Ideas?

 

I tried V1.00 and there were many closed port and even open ports!
A few were stealth. So I deinstalled Ashampoo.
I see it's not going better

 

Just don't run two firewalls at the first time in the first place. Only exception if one of them is a hardware one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Router).

 

I had XP Firewall turn OFF, when I first installed Ashampoo, then I ran the Stealth Test at various Testing centre, all brought back the same result, the ports are closed but not stealth. Then I turned on the XP Firewall all the ports are stealth and Ashampoo pass with flying colors.

 

That's the Windows Firewall stealthing, so it's the program that's doing the job, not Ashampoo's Firewall. I don't think that anyone will disagree that Ashampoo should have not released this program until it can at the very least stealth all unrequested inbound attempts on its own.

 

I think it is rather the Windows firewall that passes with flying colors

 

I only have the XP firewall and I pass with flying colors too on the stealth tests.
