Firewall

[Guest toreilly]

I have just upgraded to AVG 8 which has a Firewall.

I am running WINDOWS XP SP3 so would like to know which firewall I should use?

 

Everytime I start up AVG enables it's own Firewall.

 

Thanks in anticipation

Ditch the xp firewall and just use the AVG version.

The paid version, right?

Neither, or either, just not both.

 

As both are running on a user PC, neither of them is of any real

protection as many malware can exploit the fact that you are most likely

running as a local Administrator and they can punch holes in your soft-

firewall.

 

Get a NAT Router or a real firewall if you want protection.

Hint: the free version is only one of two that are avaiable.

Re: Firewall

 

I am running the "PAID FOR" version and when I click on the icon to run it

all the options are available including the FIREWALL which can be either

enabled or disabled.
