Speed test.

I recently changed from ZA to Comodo firewall,i noticed my speed test results were a bit lower than normal around 5000kbps,i found out today that windows firewall was turned on and haven't a clue how it happened,i turned it off and am now getting 6142kbps which is far higher than i used to get.
Can having 2 firewalls running reduce the speed?

Its not recommended to have 2 software firewalls installed on your system since it can cause conflicts.

However.. the windows firewall doesnt normally interfere with your software firewall since it only monitors incoming traffic.
