Hello everyone, I keep getting messages saying that my firewall is turned off. I am using AVG Anti-Virus and the firewall on AVG is turned on. Why am I getting messages? This has me paranoid. I don't know what is going on here. This has never happened before. When I try to turn on my firewall through the control pannel, nothing happens. I have tried to restart my PC and it still comes back. Thank you to anyone who can help!!

If you can't turn on the Windows Firewall that is often not a good sign. Although the AVG program may be interfering with it. Go to the notification options and you should see in there a setting to ignore the firewall message or say that you have your own firewall running. That is not a big deal if you have a Router, the Router has it's own firewall in the hardware.

Thank you for the input :) It turns out it was my AVG interfering I believe. It did an automatic update for a trial of the full version and the full version has its own firewall. So it must have been an interference between the two. I went back to the free version and have not gotten the error, and I checked the windows firewall and it says it is working :) Thank you!
