Hi,
Why AVAST ( Free Version for user ) when a new program (or old) installed
and Try to connected to internet , it not notice what to do, if stopped the connection
or goes on ? why avast have not this basical function ???
For exemple AVG have this best function .
:-[
It’s because Avast Free has not a firewall that must control any connections.
??? this is very very BAD !
It’s generally agreed that antivirus plus firewall is rock-bottom minimum security for the internet. So you’ll need to add firewall protection in one way or another – even making sure that Windows firewall is active is better than nothing.
Unfortunately free-standing freeware firewalls are getting harder and harder to find, mostly becoming incorporated into “suites” which are paid-version-only or to a greater or lesser degree bloatware (or sometimes both, of course). I used to use the PC Tools firewall on my old XP system before the system finally died of old age – that’s no longer available, thanks to Symantec’s marketing policies, but I understand that the firewall in Win 7 is fairly good compared to earlier versions, especially considering my other layers of protection.
Are you really still using SP2 and Firefox 8.01? Both are security risks.
No, AVG Free does not include a firewall, as Avast Free does not include a firewall.
