Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Hi,

I have AVAST since 3 weeks. I work with WAMP and cant get apache started. I see rules for other services.

What should be changed to allow WAMP apache? Can someone here explain it please?

Is your firewall network profile in private or puplic mode?

does it work if you change?

Firewall https://support.avast.com/en-ww/article/Antivirus-Firewall-Application-Rules

NOTE:The Network profiles control the settings which determine how strictly Firewall protects your PC.

Private: a lower level of security suitable for when your PC is connected to a trusted network such as your home or work network. This profile enables better connectivity, and permits all communication within the network.

Public: a higher level of security suitable for when your PC is connected to a public network such as in a cafe or airport. Because public networks present greater security risks, no incoming communication is permitted when this profile is set.

When I go to the firewall menu in the firewall profile the public network option is chosen.

I work on an ordinary desktop with WAMP offline for localhost purposes and virtual host purposes.
