System Mechanic's firewall monitoring feature is designed to keep you informed about your system's firewall protection. If you have Windows Firewall or third party firewall software, or firewall software is not detected, you can turn off this monitoring if you choose to.
From the Firewall pane, click the Options button and then click Turn off firewall monitoring. (For users with Windows Firewall: click the arrow on the Open Windows Firewall button and then click Turn off firewall monitoring.)
With System Mechanic's firewall monitoring turned off:
System Mechanic will not check for the installation of a firewall program.
System Mechanic's calculation of your PC's security and overall status will not include a check for the presence of firewall software.
Click the Options button and then click Turn on firewall monitoring. System Mechanic will immediately check for firewall software and will include these findings in its calculation of your system's status.
