• The free AVG antivirus program disables the Windows Firewall? Is it safe?

  I have Windows 7.  After you download the program AVG free anti-virus, the Action Center tray icon will display a warning indicating that the Windows Firewall is not enabled. After checking the Windows Firewall settings in the Control Panel, this message appears: "Windows Firewall is disabled or badly adjusted upward.  If I click to re - turn on the Windows Firewall, the center of the Action WARNING disappears.  I don't think that there is a firewall that is included in the free version of AVG.  Is it safe to leave the Windows firewall stops?

  No, it is not without danger. You should have a firewall running. A firewall running on the PC, such as WIndows firewall or a firewall on your router, or preferably both.

  I don't use AVG can not tell for sure re its features recent firewall, but at the time where I use it on an old PC it doesn't have a firewall in the free version.

  Which AVG have you loaded, AVG9, 2011, 2012? and where did you?

  You can test your firewall here (or similar sites) click https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 go ahead and run the common ports to test (at least). If the firewall is running ports report . If they bring or then it is not running.

• How can I add Pogo on my add a program to the windows firewall. The Browse button takes me only to things on my computer.

  I don't know what else to add - in question. My subject would probably firewall Windows instead of game - but it wasn't an option.

  Right-click on your Chrome shortcut and choose the location of the file open, which should open the location where you can copy the path of the address bar.

  If the option is not available, it seems that the program is stored in the application data folder and not the folder programs. Try to go to start and in the search box type (or copy and paste) the following and press ENTER:

  %AppData%\Google\Chrome\Application\

  If that opens the folder with the file chrome.exe, go ahead and copy the path to the address bar and add chrome.exe in this folder in the list in the firewall.

• How can I get the windows firewall work

  My wife got a call from someone of 'Windows', she paid and downloaded two programs that did not, the damage has been catastophical, I ended up using my windows disk and reinstalled windows XP, but still a problem, that I could not access the windows firewall, it will not allow downloads, only very slowly. The message says: {WF settings cannot be displayed because the associated Service is not running. You want to start the windows Firewall/internet connection (ICS) Service} or not, if you say yes it says it cannot start

  E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  You are the victim of a very common scam. In addition to the money you paid, the prgrams that they installed were probably malware designed to collect and send personal information such as passwords, coordinated banking, credit card, etc. Review all information on your PC as a compromise.

  You should:

  1. tell your bank, etc (as applicable) of the credit card company what happened quickly.

  2. using another PC to your change all passwords quickly.

  3. you were common sense with the need to reinstall Windows because it's the ony way be sure & confident of getting a clean PC. However, make sure that do you a clean reinstall of Windows (involving a format your hard disks) rather than a repair reinstall.

  4. don't forget to consider all the drives (disks internal additional, external hard drives, USB thumb drives, etc.) as potentially infected if they were connected at the time or a moment any since. Unplug them until your PC is up and running with anti-malware real-time protection and a firewall work and then analyze them with a minimum of 2 reputable anti-malware programs (there is a degree of risk of reinfection in that).

  5 consider speaking to the police.

• Do I still need to run the Windows Firewall when I use Norton360?

  Do I still need to run the Windows Firewall when I use Norton360?

  Hello

   
  A firewall is software or hardware that checks information coming from the Internet or a network, then it blocks or allows it to pass through your computer, depending on your firewall settings.
  A firewall can help prevent hackers or malicious software (such as worms) to access your computer through a network or the Internet. A firewall can also help stop your computer from malware sent to other computers.
  A firewall is not the same thing as an antivirus program. To help protect your computer, you need a firewall and an antivirus and anti-malware program.
  
  Norton 360 from Symantec's all-in-one security service that protects your computer and your data against today's Internet threats.

• The Windows Firewall blocks network share on Windows 7

  I'm currently on Windows 7 Pro x 64.  I use the firewall of Windows of Microsoft Security Essentials and Microsoft.  No firewall AV or additional software is currently installed.  I regularly use the many Xbox 360 to stream media content of this machine on the home network.  In addition, I set up a homegroup to share resources such as printer and fileshares with other machines in the House.  It's all working perfectly until a few weeks ago.  No direct changes to installation other than updates of Microsoft, Adobe (Flash) and Oracle (Java).  Now, unless I turn off the Windows Firewall, my xboxs can not see the sharing machine, and no other network computers can print/share via homegroup.

  Currently, discovery network, file sharing of printers and streaming media are disabled and cannot be reactivated.  Check the radio buttons on the first two, then clicking to save does nothing.  I get sent to the network and sharing Center screen, but when I check again options for change advanced sharing settings, the options are returned to the people with reduced mobility.  Media streaming from this screen says it is on (even if this is not the case), but when I select the option to change this, it says it is disabled (which is correct).  By selecting the option to turn on media streaming continuously, does nothing.  I can click constantly with no change.

  I ran the Virus Scan free from Symantec online as long as complete system scan MSSE where each is an element, and in each case, the two elements have been removed (for the threat found by Symantec) NPE and (for the number found by MSSE) the MSSE tool.  I also run SFC/scannow and repaired the problem identified.  With two comprehensive analyses of each tool, I am sure that my machine is the threat and corruption free.

  In addition, I went through the list of services recommended to 'start' and 'automatic' which was published MANY times by MANY people.  For clarity, I have all these started and set to automatic:

  o computer browser
  o Client DHCP
  o customer DNS
  o network connections
  o knowledge of network locations
  o remote procedure call (RPC)
  o server
  o support TCP/IP Netbios
  o workstation

  With all these started, I can not follow the discovery of the network, the file and printer sharing, and streaming media options running.  I also made sure upnp started as well.

  I noticed, however, when I disabled the Windows Firewall, all options could be changed and stayed changed.  I added WMP to the firewall allow list and activated the firewall.  All options have yet.  In the firwall outgoing options are all set to allow, if incoming is currently refused saying "block all connections to programs that are not on the list of allowed programs."  It is the default state of Windows Firewall.

  Run without AV and a FW is NOT an option.  Specifically, these are tools MS and should not conflict with these simple network features.

  Help

  I was able to solve the problem after a kick in the right direction of another user of the forum.  The 'general' advice give cannot solve the problem, but they are a good starting point if nothing else.  Please see this thread for the difficulty that I used:

• the Windows Firewall has stopped working

  I tried the system restore to just before it stopped working

  Hi geoffrey,.

  System restore would have been my first suggestion, so that was an excellent choice on your part.  I would try it again maybe a few days earlier just to be safe, he did not start before you really notice or before, it became clear, as it is certainly the simplest answer, but frankly, I doubt that it will be more effective (but who knows - he can come back works perfectly and we are both happy, it was considered).  He also suggested that you know a little about computers, so I can provide instructions that contain everything you need but I will not go into nauseous detail unless you get stuck on a step and then you should post any problem you encounter and I will provide more help.  If you should post, don't forget to answer as many questions and include both the results of the proceedings or reports or copies or screenshots of screen that you can at the same time, so we can work on what to do then if none of this made the turn.

  How do you know if what she has stopped working?  Do you have an error message (if so, what was the full and exact message Word for Word, including all codes)?  You have more than one firewall installed on your system (like that which is part of Norton Internet Security, Comodo, or something else)?  What security programs do you use and that you have installed (all names and versions)?  What version of Windows you are using (for example, 32-bit Vista Business SP2 or other - please be precise otherwise)?  When this occurred and did you a software or a hardware changes (additions, deletions, upgrades or anything like that) since two weeks before the problem (if so, precisely what has been done in as much detail as possible)?

  Do you get this Center security or firewall Windows itself?  If you are using XP, post back with answers given that there is a limit to the options how can I cover without knowing the basic information.  If you use Vista or W7, go to Security Center or action center and check to see if there is a problem with the notification of the firewall or it's on.  If it's not on, it shows the details or links containing information about the problem?  If Yes, go to these links and copy the information and post here, so we can look at.

  Then go into firewall Windows itself (on the left side of the screen) and confirm that there is a problem.  If she too says it is disabled, click on change settings.  Make sure the firewall is turned on - if not turn it on, click on apply and then click OK and confirm that it starts and begins to work.  If it does not start, it provides an error message (If Yes, what is completely and exactly Word for Word with all codes)?  Click Advanced, and verify that all network connections are checked - make if all are not and click OK, then again try to turn on the firewall.

  If this does not work, go to start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services and then highlight the Windows Firewall and click Open.  Click dependencies and go to each of them and make sure they are started and automatic.  Otherwise change it to automatic and start them.  If it is impossible to do, check their dependencies and do the same until you reach the end of the chain of dependence.  Now return to Windows Firewall and make sure that it is set to automatic and started.  Then restart.  When the system returns, return to the service and confirm that the Windows Firewall is started and automatic.

  Now, go into Windows Firewall and again try to launch and see if it lights.  Go to the center of security or Action and check that the firewall is enabled and works.  If so, the problem can be solved.  Just to be sure, restart and check the firewall to ensure that it is on and working.  If so, who should be the one.  But we do not know why it stopped, and if the problem may come back, then we must redouble efforts to find the cause or confirm that there is no problem.  Moreover, if the above did not work and Windows Firewall is still off, here's what you should do in any case.

  Go to start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer and look for error messages regarding the Windows Firewall (there will be errors).  Look in system first and then in Applications.  When you find the error or errors, click on it for details, copy these details and display them in your next reply.  Well, they can help us identify the source of the problem and there a fix for it.

  We will check your system and hard disk for corruption files and try to fix it:

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

  , Type sfc/scannow go and let it run.  It will scan and try to the difficulty of some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.

  While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  They tried to set itself to run at the next reboot.   Answer Yes and restart to run the program.  It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.

  Then, we will confirm this is not caused by a malware any.

  Update and run a full scan with no matter what security software you use, and remove or quarantine everything you find.

  First, try the following programs if you do not, because they can help. I recommend you download, install, update and run full scans with Malwarebytes:http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and SuperAntiSpyware:http://superantispyware.com/ and then run a full scan of Microsoft Security:http://www.microsoft.com/security/default.aspx. This may or may not remove the infections, but will probably not correct the damage caused by them. Even if they or your current AV software seem to work or indicate that you are not infected, you should not completely trust in them and must continue with the recommendations that follow (so it's up to you if you want to try them first, or just ignore all this and get help from an expert you really need as described below).

  Correctly and completely remove these infections can be complex and often require manual removal procedures (which may or may not be entirely effective either). Even if they work, I suggest what follows in any case, so that we can start it (you can ignore the methods above if you want it really is the way forward, but it won't hurt to them for trying).

  Please follow these recommendations of JimR1 - MVP compliments:

  I have a problem, he seems to have had a virus on my pc. Essentials of security does not illuminate and the windows firewall will not also turn on, I tried to use the tool to "fix" windows and it doesn't solve the problem.

  the original virus seemed to rename its self as a program existing and renamed the oringinal by a space in the name, for example "adobearm.exe" became "adobearm .exe" there is a space before the dot.

  The virus called his free adobearm.exe icon because it is a yellow / orange with a letter H, at the Center

  different file name her seemed to be part of the virus included "ag7yl5x8.exe".

  If you tried to close them in the task manager that they just either came back or a different file name would appear in the list.
