Windows 10: firewall failure

Just got a message saying microsoft firewall had failed and i would lose all data in 456 secondd. I think it is probably a acam, but of course I weant to be sure. My questions:


WHY IS THE MICROSOGT "SUPPORT" SITE NOT WORKING?

HOW LONG SHOULD I WAIT TO START A "CHAT," WHEN THE PAGE TELLS ME THERE ARE ZERO PEOPLE IN LINE AHEAD OF ME?

WHY IS IT THAT MICROSOFT WASTES MY TIME WHENEVER I BOTHER TO TELL THEM I HAVE RECEIVED ONE OF THESE THREATS?

WHY IS MICROSFT SO RUDE?


p.s.

I DID contact the support site, as instructed above. No response.

:)

 

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.
