Disconnect from the internet. otherwise look at some other firewalls I believe AVG FW is very very basic lacking config options tho I could be wrong
Hi, I have just scanned AVG8 firewall but not seeing any open ports,... please post the port numbers that are showing as open. - Stem
There have been further changes with the firewall, here is a screen shot of the default advanced rules for Firefox:- - Stem
If I remember correctly, AVG FW blocks all ports except 80. So I am surprised how 6 ports seem to be open .... Just to beat my curiosity, can you please disable AVG FW and then do a Shields UP test ?? Just to make sure, these open ports are on your system and not on any router/NAT in between. Thanks again ...
Not recommended. Asking a user to disable their firewall when it is unknown if an external firewall is in place is not a good idea. Simply checking the firewall logs will show if the scans are hitting the firewall. - Stem
Sorry,Stem... I thought disabling firewall for a few moments will cause no harm. But you are right, the logs would be a secure method to evaluate if there is a network device in between without compromise on the user-end.
I guess you are running some server programs ....... They are listening to the ports Or you might have virtual server or some other port forwarding in your router.... I once have my port 80 open for years without even host a single game....
