You might want to change your avatar for another, this one is huge, resize or use another one. We try to keep avatars around 100 X 100 for those who don’t have high resolution monitors.
Network Shield is a component of avast anti-virus and comes with the program, it isn’t a firewall, so if this is what you are asking ?
- Zone Alarm free http://www.zonelabs.com works fine with avast and has a reasonably friendly user interface. There are others, Comodo, Sunbelt Kerio, Jetico, etc.
See some firewall tests for comparison, some are freeware but many are paid for versions http://www.firewallleaktester.com/tests.php. Also see http://www.thefreecountry.com/security/firewalls.shtml
Ｉａｍ really sorry for the huge pic!
I just think the forum will figure it automatically~~
thanks for you advice !
and thank you for cut the picture for me.
i see
Network Shield is not a single software but a part of the protection of AVAST!
and in Chinese it means 网络防护
maybe I got it, am I?
Yes.
Please keep in mind that, as DavidR posted, Network Shield is not a firewall. It will protect you from certain internet attacks. Sorry, I don’t know the complete list.
If for some reason the Network Shield isn’t installed (but other providers are), you can go into Add-Remove Programs, click on Avast then on Change. You’ll see a number of elements such as the providers and many language-versions. Make sure Network Shield is checked, then hit Save (or OK, or however it’s labeled).
Usually you’ll then have to re-boot if resident protection is changed – you’ll get a prompt saying so if that’s the case.
Whilst luerdelphic doesn’t state what OS he used, for those on win9x/ME are unable to use the network Shield because of OS limitations, so if that is the case trying to install like this wouldn’t work.
