I don't know AOL Firewall., Can tell you that Microsoft Windows firewall, is no good. Reason is that it only protects you from incoming rogue ports. No protection on data that leave your computer. A good firewall must give you two way protection. Traffice incoming/outgoing. So I would suggest that you go to your control panel and where you see "Security Center", shut down the Windows firewall, as you can only have one firewall running or you will have conflict. Same for antivirus, only one or you will have conflict. You can have two or three even more antispyware without conflict if u have the resources.

looking on what you utilize for connection to the internet, a firewall is stable, yet extra advantageous than in all probability won't improve connection velocity. mutually as you're connecting, the firewall could desire to dam some stuff which you utilize to get on the internet
