The firewall determines if network traffic should continue on to its destination or be stopped.?

A firewall can block/open particular ports without prejudice. Yes, a firewall does determine if network traffic should continue through to the destination or be stopped. Therefore keeping unwanted materials out. Yes, firewalls are in charge of deciding whether a piece of network traffic should be allowed past the firewall to travel onwards to its destination or if it should be stopped. Rules can be set at the firewall to prevent traffic from entering your local network that you do not want to. A modern firewall can be programmed to block or or pass through (with or without modification) packet traffic based on its source or its destination or both. It can select packets based on an IP address, a range of ip addresses, network or subnet. It can use port numbers to filter or redirect packets to specific ip addresses. Better ones can select packets based on the domain name, or part of it or even block based on the contents of a web page. Of course, it may also block access to a really nice chicken breast recipe because of one word. Some firewalls can even filter based on the category association of a host or domain name. For example, you can block web sites that involve drugs and alcohol, or sites associated with sex and nudity.

Why would your Internet settings change by themselves?

If your browser homepage keeps changing to something other that what you set it to, chances are you have picked up a spyware application known as a browser hijacker. This is not a virus and is usually easily removed. I would suggest getting a copy of AdAware and/or SpyBot Search and Destroy. These are both free and easy to find using a Google search. Either one will seek out and remove spyware applications in your computer. Spybot will also continue to monitor your computer's registry for unauthorized entries. If your settings keep changing after running either or both applications, you might try Hijack This. It does not remove spyware, but you can submit a logfile for analysis and suggestions. Also, if you do not have a virus protection application installed, do get one as soon as possible. AVG is free and is very effective. And install a firewall such as Sygate (also free) to prevent unauthorized traffic through your internet connection. The free Sygate firewall is no longer available. The Symantic "Smart Firewall" has replaced it, but is no longer free. Other free firewalls at this time are Comodo and I believe Zone Alarm still has a free version. There may be others that a Google search would bring up.

Does Comodo Firewall pro conflicts with Win Vista Firewall?

Yes it is true only in a few cases, this happens when comodo firewall pro is installed sometimes it does not turn off the windows firewall, in which case both the firewall continue to work simultaneously and conflict each other. I recommend you first turn off the windows firewall in vista and then go on installing comodo firewall, as it offers much better protection than a mere windows firewall. a word of caution ! : please be careful in configuring comodo, and white listing the processes and applications, otherwise it is as good as having no firewall.
