  1. Firewall compromised


    I have an AVG anti virus software that I needed to reload after resetting windows.

    I had to call Avg cust srvc to assist. The customer service agent told me that my firewall was compromised, and said I needed to install a complete new firewall.

    Then he tells me AVG has nothing to do with network security, but when I went in to do some investigating, It's AVG that is controlling the firewall.

    Not quite sure what to make of all this, could someone shed some light on my situation that I might comprehend??

    Thanks

    :)

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

    Hi Jackie,

    For you to be able to get to your firewall, please follow the steps below:

    • Go to start Button.
    • Open Windows defender Security Center.
    • Then go to Firewall & network protection.
    • Then choose a network profile.

    We'll look forward to your response.
