How to uninstall Nvidia firewall?

Run the Nvidia drivers installer from Control Panel, and unistall the ethernet drivers. Then reinstall, making sure that the firewall is NOT selected in the ethernet driver options.

Awful thing, half harware, half-software was never gonna work.

I second that mate.

I switched mine off as soon as I built my system, it was preventing me from printing to a network printer.

Switch if off it as leezer3 says above, you're better off just using the Windows firewall.
 
Is it really that bad?

I have installed it and I found things like torrents etc have doubled in DL speeds, and I have now started to fold again, as well as using metacafe because previously, using the XP one, I was pretty much unable to do more than one or two, but since installing the nvidia one, its been perfectly fine!
 
Yup. Its that bad :rolleyes:
The XP one is worse when trying to play with large amounts of apps etc. though, as it was never really designed to have a load of torrents etc. running through it, just the standard n00b home user.
Install Zone Alarm instead ;)

Never tried ZA To be honest.

I got BlackIce a fair while back when I was using 2K, but when I got XP, I just used the built-in one and never really gave much thought about it... Apart from that the Windows one doesnt keep tellign me every 2 seconds this or that... BICE is a bummer for that.
Another one thats not too bad, has been outpost, although I have not really given that enough time to try it out really, what I have seen of it, has been positive.

I have mostly been running behind hardware anyway, so its not like its a vital choice at this time.

But, the NVidia one, has been perfect for me so far.

Its allowed full I/O and its shut-the-fup... which I like.
 
I have found the Nvidia firewall works just fine network printing and resource handling. I have an ASUS P5N32 SLI Deluxe MB with Media center 2005 installed. My XBOX 360 connects up easier and my Computers network fine I only use the one lan port on my MB even though I could use both but why bother if you canprep the firewall to handle both. I have ZoneAlarm on my other PC which is the free version. Don't buy the full security setup version of ZoneAlarm it interferes with things which you finally end up turning off or just get so tired of you uninstall it and go back to the PD version. Truevector is a pain in the butt when you are networking. You end up having to restart if it doesn't get a ping back from the other networked computers that were there when first logged on. And Zone Labs still haven't got back to me after 6 months of proving the technical issue to them. As long as you have something like a Spyware Doctor running in the background somewhere you should have no problem with PUPs. Try a leak test on your network if your having problems or a command prompt PING test on your existing network. I often find Turning a Printer off and on again solves simple network problems to do with printers.
 
I didn't like the nV firewall because of the large amount of memory it used, I'm not sure if its still the case but on my rig it fired up apache and a couple of other processes, using about 30megs of memory :S
