Running Norton Firewall module with Baseline Filter Engine (BFE) disabled?

Dear Norton Community,

 

Is it possible to set Norton Firewall module fully working (and so my PC will be protected by that module) while at the same time Windows 7 SP1 Baseline Filter Engine (BFE) service is being disabled?

 

A software house asked me that setup with BFE disabled because of "latency and blocking data" issues caused by that Windows service.

Thank you.

 

Best regards,

Zugg
