  1. open Windows Firewall by clicking the Start button, click on the Control Panel, clicking Security, and then click Windows Firewall.

  2. click on turn on or off Windows Firewall.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

• Windows Vista Firewall: Uncheck basic network layout would make my computer more secure on the Public network?

  I use the Public network a lot.  I noticed that on my Windows Vista firewall, Core Networking is checked on by default.  Unchecking it would make my computer more secure on the Public network?  I already checked in my firewall settings, block all incoming connections.  Regarding security, I run MSE, like Spyware Blaster in the background.  Automatic updating and Malware Protection are on.  My other security settings are OK.  I do not understand why Core Networking is checked on by default.  This would make an open port, right?  Unchecking it would make my computer more secure?  Thank you.

  Hello

  If you uncheck Core Networking IPv4 and IPv6 will be unreliable or blocked.

  You have a router, a firewall (today, most have them) which is excellent protection
  for your network against external influences. In addition, Windows Firewall.

  Windows Vista Networking-

  Better to use WPA/WPA2 security if they are available and you can hide the SSID that will help
  help others to see the network (note on some routers more hide the SSID)
  causes of connection problems and if they find out the name he is more useful).

• Windows comodo firewall v - what is the best?

  I heard that the windows firewall is not very good compared to as comodo and protects against incoming traffic. I have also been informed that it tends to have be restarted whenever a system is restarted. Is this true please.

  Hello

  Not those who are not true.

  Low-cost 3rd part firewall software are quite a lot of problems delayed. They are all
  have compatibility problems and offer only a few improved controls. Indeed their questions often
  actually lower the overall security rather than raise. The Windows Firewall has no compatibility
  questions and is extremely secure if you know enough to work around most of the hype. Quality software
  firewalls cost thousands. Most of the hardware firewall routers built in and are considerably
  better additions for your money than any firewall software to low-cost and low-cost.

  If you want to uninstall OR have uninstalled any security antivirus/antispyware/program don't forget
  to go on the manufacturer websites and search for removal tools (these can be performed after uninstalling if
  required) or special instructions to uninstall. Otherwise it will leave causing trouble
  the remains that can be real problems later.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
  Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - Home - free - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD protection, working with others
  security programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back
  here or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
  http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp?prevx=Y  <-->

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

• Windows 7 firewall allows 1777 proinstaller, 449, 976

  My Windows 7 firewall allows proinstaller 1777, 449 and 976 through. What do these?

  Thank you

  Laurent

  [Original title: proinstaller1777, 449, 976]

  Where are you seeing this?

  It displays a pop up or message to ask for permission to connect to the firewall?

  Do you see it advance firewall setting?

  It is probably application that try to communicate.

  You might find the application and see where it is located or check programs and features and uninstalled program, check if it is displayed or not?

• Windows 7 firewall, just after the power rules

  Hello

  Setting up a private workgroup-to-peer network (not homegroup, no servers or domain) of several PC windows 7.  Have all network connections, defined as 'private' of networks.  At that time, the private firewall is disabled, and the Public firwall is enabled.  Administration tool using remote third 3rd RAdmin connect and control the PC.

  Strange behavior just after turn on/off the PC.  Can ping from one PC to another, but RAdmin tool fails to connect to a PC on just.  The 'Public' windows firewall log shows the RAdmin TCP packet dropped.  Once someone has logged on locally to the computer and then connected to the wide, the RAdmin packages are no longer considered (fell or permitted) by the Public firewall, and the RAdmin progam works great.

  I added a test rule to allow all TCP traffic through any firewall from any PC, any user, any port, etc. (essentially large open) and still have the problem where RAdmin specific TCP packets are lost by the Public firewall.

  I can get it to work by setting the 'incoming connections' for the Public firewall to 'Always allow', but is not an acceptable solution.

  I worked with the provider of 3rd party s/w (famatech) and they also have no idea why it works this way.

  Any ideas how the Windows 7 firewall works right after that the PC is on, but before the user login?  Any ideas how can I do an acceptable firewall rule which will be in force after powering on, but before that the user log?

  Thank you in advance for any help or any other ideas,

  Rick

  Answered my own question.  Found that a set Local GPO do not merge rules defined by the user.  When I moved the RAdmin rule throughout the local Group Policy object, problem goes away.

• Windows 7 firewall will not use recommended settings.

  "My windows firewall does nothing, when I go to stop or start it or anything in this menu, there's something that says:

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  UPDATE YOUR FIREWALL SETTINGS

  Firewall Windows does not use recommended settings to help protect your computer

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Next there is a button with a shield and it says "use recommended settings".

  When I click that button of my mouse is that loading thing where it is just a circle with no cursor, it makes for a while and then nothing happens when its done. the same screen is still there with the same handwriting. It won't let me access anything that either and I can't even turn off and on again to fix it.

• Windows 7 firewall rule to allow only a predefined range of LAN IP Communications?

  Hello

  I'm new to working with the Windows 7 firewall.  I want to create rules that will help my office computers laptops only can communicate with some computers on my LAN - those whose IP address of 192.168.10.50 to 192.168.10.55.

  When comments computers connect to the network via ethernet, they would get an IP address outside this range and I don't want the hosts to be able to see or communicate with desktop computers and vice versa.

  I created the inbound rules and outbound for tests that denies everything outside this range of IP (extended tab has the range specified in the remote zone "IP address") and it seems to work.  For the "local IP address" I chose "any IP address" - the documentation says: "select this option to specify that the rule matches a packet network for any address as the local IP address. The local computer are always consistent with the rule when this option is selected. »

  Have I set it up properly?

  Thank you.

• How can I make Windows 7 Firewall does not mark VMNet1 and VMNet8 as public

  I want to use the DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) media streaming on my home network and VPN connections.  I need these features in my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit guests and clients Ubuntu.  Windows 7 firewall cannot determine enough about VMware network adapters, the labels 'unidentified' and public brand!  Perhaps it is because I am visually impaired and use screen readers, but I'm not able to define these connections as private or disable the firewall for these connections.  If I disable these adaptors or uninstall Workstation, these features work perfectly.  Of course, this will not allow these characteristics never to work in a guest and is not a viable solution for the Windows host either.  Does anyone have a solution to know how to enable VMware networks bypass bad decisions of Microsoft network design?

• Windows XP firewall blocks FTP

  Recently, I reformatted my computer and reinstalling Dreamweaver and now Windows XP firewall blocks my FTP access. If I turn it off, it connects. I had it before. I remember there were some things that I had to add to let it connect. I allowed Dreameaver in the list of programs and port 21. Is there anything else I can try?

  Here's what I did to remedy. Where others have connection problems. Norton Antivirus blocked alg.exe which is a Microsoft process that should run.

• . How can I disable AND restore (step by step) Windows XP firewall and also disable and restore Microsoft Security Essentials?

  Read the 'Yellow Book' on Windows XP for Dummies, I learned that if you do not disable the windows firewall and other protection, if you defragment, you tend to gum the system.  I just be reformatted with a Home Edition CD and I have the SP2 and SP3 updates (134!), as well as Adobe Reader and Flash Player, and a few other basic programs installed.  Does anyone know a quick way to disable MS SecEss and the firewall of Windows XP?  I guess its easy just go to the firewall in the control panel and to stop him for now.  Still to learn, people.  Thanks a lot for all ideas.  Dave Becker

• How can I put the Windows XP firewall in a port configuration 'allow all' and only block some ports?

  Without going into the details of why I need to do this, I'm putting the firewall of Windows XP in one allow all the configuration of ports and only refuse some ports I have in a list.

  I train this script via the command-line batch with the netsh firewall add portopening command.  From what I've read, if enabled the firewall denies all traffic and only allows ports with exceptions, so through batch scripts, I opened all the 65 000 + ports TCP and UDP, essentially with the firewall turned on but in a configuration of "allow all the»  I don't deny the 100 or so ports to my list that I want blocked after they are all open.

  This strategy seems to work, but the problem I waited and I now see is that svchost.exe takes 50% of my CPU time, have to deal with constantly these firewall rules.

  "From what I've seen on Windows XP, there is no way to have the firewall ON, and in a configuration of" allow all the "" because the XP firewall may not have defined port ranges, they must be defined one by one.  It looks like Windows Vista or 7 would be much easier because the firewall has got a re vamp of advanced features.

  Does anyone have a suggestion on how to realize this "allow all", deny some' strategy?  I know it's a strange use of the Windows Firewall, so let's please jump in front of a 'why would you do this incredibly stupid thing?"messages.

  Also, if it was the wrong forum (or website) to post on for this kind of question, I'd appreciate a recommendation of a more appropriate forum.

• How to configure the Windows XP firewall to allow access for Windows 7

  I have 2 Windows 7 PCs & 1 Windows XP.

  XP, I can connect & see the shared folders on the 7.  However, I don't see the XP from 7 if I disable my firewall.

  They are all connected to the same workgroup.  I removed the 7 s residential groups (that I read that this could be a problem).  I tried to turn it off simple sharing & ensuring that local settings are set to everyone, but it does not work.

  I use of Avira AntiVir to my antivirus and I see all the settings within what I need to change.

  The only thing that works is to disable the firewall.  I don't want to leave it off, I need to understand how to configure it to allow access from other computers.  I looked in exceptions and can't seem to understand.  I think maybe I need to add a port, but I do not know how to select a port number and once I did, I don't know what I would have to do on the 7 to use this port.

  Thanks in advance for the help!
