• 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.

  Thugs loading as usual but then programs are supported by the system functions that make the machine

  These are scams, fake antivirus to force you to pay for it, even if they have no advantage at all.

• 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.

  HitBit

  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

  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

• 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?

  Take a look at: Troubleshooting blocked incoming network traffic on Windows Vista or later after installing a VMware product

• 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?

  Above says it all.

  Above says it all.

  They do * not * do the same thing. Windows Defender is an anti-spyware program only. When you uninstall McAfee, you have p anti-spyware [protection, but no anti-spyware protection.]

  Moreover, in my opinion, McAfee is one of the worst of the available security programs.  For an anti-virus program, I recommend eSet NOD32, if you are willing to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend one (do not run more than one) of the following three:

• 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.
