Firewall switches off?

Question

my firewall keeps switching off ,sometimes when my pc is in use,can anybody tell me an idiot proof way to sort it out! I would really appreciate any tips thanks .

Answer 1

Hi

Which firewall are you using? I suggest you also download and scan with Superantispyware free and Malwarebytes Antimalware free.

PS. To all Norton bashers: Do you have any evidence to back up your claims of "Norton is rubbish"? It's true Norton was a resource hog in the past but the 2008 and 2009 beta products are quite light.

Answer 2

I would personally run a full virus scan!! if nothings found i would suggest which i did is use a 3rd party firewall which are free and some people say more secyure than windows built in version!! I often just use other programs as a quick fix as i dont have time to keep trying to fix things all the time!

Here are all the best 3rd party Firewalls.

Hi,

sorry to tell you but please scan your system for Virus's as i think you have one on your system and this is effecting your firewall, please don't tell me you are using Norton's anti-virus as this is rubbish and will really slow your system down as well, use "AVG 8" instead and it's free. hope this all helps you (it will).

I think you may have a bug in your Firewall. Try Re-installing it and it should work out fine.
