Then why is its icon a wall?? Anyway, I think it's just one more (in)utility to waste your memory. I'm too lazy to search how to disable it.
Windows "Defender". Maybe a wall symbolises defence? :P

It's not a 'wall' as such. It is meant to be a castle.

A castle symbolizes the fortified place where peasants can go as a last stand to be protected against outside influences when the city wall (=pc firewall) is breached.

So, the city protects the city/peasants houses and the castle which is standing in the middle of it. And everything outside the city wall is the internet, everything inside the city wall is your PC as a whole... where dark doggy figures roam around and try to break in the castle to kill the lord.

;)

Yeah, You should go for that combination Because now a days Avast! is a good antivirus. But If you have internet connection then go for Avast! Internet security.
