Firewall Windows settings keep changing ~ I don't change them! HELP Please
Recently, I noticed that to change my Windows Firewall settings, AND I'm not modify them.
I set the Windows Firewall as follows:
1. on the "Général" tab
I ticked the boxes: 'On' (recommended) and "don't allow exceptions".
2. in the tab 'Exceptions ':
NO boxes are checked
I ticked 'display a notification when Windows Firewall blocks a program '.
3. on the "Advanced" tab
ONLY "Connection to the Local network" is checked
and under the 'Settings' button ICMP NO boxes are checked.
Periodically, I notice that my "Network Icon" (two screens) is very active when I'm not navigate on the internet or by e-mail. When I click with the right button on the icon and select "Change Windows Firewall settings", I note that the following changes have been made to my original settings, BUT NOT BY me!
1. on the "Général" tab
The box: 'On' (recommended) is checked
BUT "don't allow exceptions" is now disabled
2. in the tab 'Exceptions ':
File sharing and printer is enabled
AND "Display a notification when Windows Firewall blocks a program" is now disabled
3. on the "Advanced" tab
If I click on the box 'Connect to the Local network' that is always checked
under ICMP, and go to the "Settings" button
NOW, the first "Allow an incoming echo request" is checked.
Earlier this week, I hadn't double checked if the parameters have changed and started printing a Word document, I had been editing. Before the start of my print file, my printer started to print pages and pages of garbled text (just the letters and not readable ~ grabage). After the cancellation of all the print jobs, I checked the Windows Firewall settings again, and they had been changed from the original settings that I had chosen, once again!
The only way I can restore my original settings is to click on the default button on the tab "Advanced" and then double-checking the options I want.
This happens at least 8 times a day and makes me crazy, because I am constantly having to check if the Windows Firewall settings are as I put them in the first place. If they are not, I have to go through this process over and over again. By making print a nightmare, but it's also annoying to have to keep control of the settings.
Ask everything you big strong guys out there to give this 'small' a helping hand technique with this one, please.
Thank you very much

I can't access AppStore and some other operations ordinary adds on my iPad. Have reset and all routers. All updates current. I can do on iPhone. Is it me or Apple or what? Help, please
Hello there jacquelinefrombburg,
Welcome to the communities of Apple Support! It is a great place to get help with connection problems to the App Store and access other applications on your iPad. I know that there are some applications that I rely on every day, so I'll do my utmost to help find a solution.
As point of departure, we will you force him to close all open applications on your iPad. Once you've done that, go ahead and reboot your iPad. Once it is up and running, test on the App Store to see if you are able to access. Here are some useful resources to guide you through the process described above:
Force a nearby application on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
If you still have questions, see the steps in this article. Even though the title says iTunes Store, the recommendations would still apply to the App Store.
If you cannot connect to the iTunes Store
As a step in isolation, it would be wise to check if you have problems with the App Store and other applications while using a Wi - Fi connection and cell phone. If the problem persists with the two types of connection, try resetting the network settings on your iPad. Please note that you erase all the stored passwords and Wi - Fi networks. To complete this step, go to settings > general > reset > reset network settings. After you restart your iPad, test the apps again.
Take care!

I have 3 windows-based devices. Portable... Desktop windows 7, windows 7, windows desktop 8. All these devices connect wireless to my network at home. Currently, none of them can see the wireless network... they see networks (IE my neighbors) but not my network and therefore can not connect to it. I just installed a new router, but it was exactly the same with the old router. New router is Netgear nighthawk... former AC1900 was cisco Linksys EA4500. My devices apple and android phone view all network and are able to connect to it. The network seems to be invisible for that windows devices? Help, please.
Thanks in advance.
Shawn is on the right track if its terminology is misleading. 802.11 g and 802.11n are protocols, not frequencies.
Your router is dual-band, which means that it can use the radio the 2 GHz and 5 GHz bands. It seems that it may only use the 5 GHz band. NICs 802.11n and 802.11ac may support only the 2.4 Ghz band, as is probably the case with your computers, or both. It seems that the router can be configured to use 5 GHz only. Check the settings. The default is to use both, but it is configurable.

former title: network location settings. Discovery of NW. File sharing. public folder sharing. AVG 9.0 'tools' and network connections.
My Alltel Wireless device again set the network location. And continues to change my network settings for the discovery of NW to:, as well as file sharing for: file public and sharing: read-only. I have AVG Security 9.0 and under 'tools' and connections network shows several svchost with States reading service connections listening and unknown. I don't want no access to my computer and cannot find any computer consultants who can get this to stop. What can I do?
Hello1. the options apply automatically on?
2. have you made changes on the computer recently?
3. have you installed any Alltel Wireless application to manage network connections?4. What is the current network location type on? Is it home, work or public?Network discovery and file sharing settings depend on the network location. For examle, if you set the network as a public location it turn on file sharing. So I would ask you to turn all the parameters and then choose the type of network and check if the parameters change again.
Method 1.
I recommend you to check if the problem exists in clean boot. May be a third party application is causing these changes.
See the article below for instructions on how to start your computer in a clean boot state.
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
Note: When the diagnosis is complete, don't forget to reset your computer to normal startup. Follow step 7 in the above article.Method 2.
Also check the settings under tools in AVG security suite. You may need to check with the help of AVG on it.
Or you can disable the antivirus software and check if that causes this behavior.
Temporarily disable the security software installed on the computer and check if the problem persists.
Disable the anti-virus software
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software
Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
I hope this helps.Thank you, and in what concerns:

Display settings keep Changing
Continues to change my display settings to start. Specifically, it's the colors that change from 32 bit to 8 or 16 bits. Whenever I simply go to display settings, change the 32-bit color and all is well, but I am trying to determine what is the cause for the last number she is reset at startup. I have a Vista SP2 Core 2 Duo CPU. I don't know if this is has nothing do with it, but in the monitor display settings is set to 1. Generic PNP monitor on NVIDIA GeForce 8400 M GS, 1920 x 1200, 32-bit. There is also another 2. (By default the monitor) on NVIDIA GeForce 8400 M GS, but its resolution is 800 x 600 and is not Basel to change. Not sure if it matters that I am using the monitor 1. Also, while I've updated to the latest NVIDIA driver, the 1. Generic monitor, which is what I use, present in advanced settings / properties that the driver Date was 2008 and 2. (Default monitor) was 2010... and right now, I just went back to 1. and now the date changes from 2008 to 16/10/2010. What the hell, why the date of the fair driver update itself in those seconds of coming and going? What was the problem? Restart now to determine that. Will update.
OK, think about it. It's Windows Live Messenger to Start Up - this program has been configured to run on 256 colors (8-bit which is). Unchecked "run in 256 colors" in the properties of Windows Live Messenger. The Compatibility tab, rebooted and all is fine, do not go back to 8 bits. Solved

Change personal settings after changing theme software
original title: basic Windows changed randomly
When I download something, he said that it was to pass my parameters to basic windows... and I want to know how to get back to my custom settings
Go back to your original settings just right click on your desktop and choose personalize. The Summit is to see your old desktop background and it should be named unsaved theme. Click it and apply and it should return to your former slogan.
I hope I could help!
