    Windows Firewall exception list (?) Is this for real?


    From the Event Viewer, 'Applications and Services Logs', 'Microsoft', 'Windows', 'Windows Firewall With Advanced Security' event below, it appears that, in addition to the Inbound & Outbound Rules of which some of us (me) are familiar, there's also such a thing as a Windows Firewall exception list (note "Description", in the event, below). How can I learn more about this exception list?

    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.

    Windows Firewall exception list (?) Is this for real?

    Windows Defender uninstalls Google Chrome and it's Modifiers

    Hello Sofia,

    Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft community and we regret for the inconvenience. Let me assist you to resolve the issue.

    At this point of time I suggest you to try your Windows firewall to make an exception rule. Follow the below steps.

    To do so, follow the below steps to add an exception to the firewall list.

    • Open Control Panel, and select Windows Firewall. Next click on "Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall"
      in the left pane in the window.
    • To start making changes, you need to click "Change settings" located above the list of apps and features.

    Note: that you need to be logged in as an administrator.

    Let us know if the above suggestion helps.

    Thank you.
