Windows 10: Ethernet and firewall

So im using windows 10 and I just got a problem where I lost my internet connection. I use ethernet and it just stopped working. I tried plugging it back in again and restarted my PC a few times. If it helps, there are error messages appearing that say Windows Firewall is turned off, but when I try to turn them off, it says I can't with the error message: 'Windows Defender Firewall can't change some of your settings'

:)

 

Good Antivirus + Firewall

I would never put anything Norton on my computer.

Nod32 is arguably the best antivirus. AVG is likely not as good, but it's free and at least pretty good.

Firewalls, I'd put Comodo and whatever "Tiny Personal Firewall" is named nowadays on your short list. I think Kerio might have sold it now and it's named something else. Otherwise, just put Comodo on your short list. I think the current version's ease of use has taken a step backwards, seems a bit counter-intuitive when trying to do certain things with it, but overall it does a good job and the price is right.

 

Best free AV and firewall

Can Windows Firewall block outgoing connections yet? If not, it's one step above useless.

Look into Online Armor for a free firewall.
