I do not want it. I have disabled it but that is not good enough. How do I
uninstall it? It is quite simple, I don't want it.....

Why is it "not good enough"? What happens? You can disable the Windows
Firewall Service but you can't uninstall it. To disable the service, do:

Start>Run services.msc [enter]

Scroll down to the Windows Firewall service, stop it if is running, and
then change it to "Disabled".

Just disable the service and it won't get in your way. I don't believe there
is anyway way to uninstall it seeing as it is well ingrained into the OS.

You can't uninstall it. You can turn it off or disable the service
altogether though.
Is there any particular reason why you do not want it though?
There is a firewall newsgroup that better serves firewall questions.
microsoft.public.windows.networking.firewall
