Title: Windows and Avast Firewall Network Location
Post by: REDACTED on February 14, 2015, 05:56:56 PM

Hi, I know Windows and Avast firewall can run at the same time. But what network location should Windows firewall be in and why? Home, Work or Public?

It does matter:
Home = Secure Network
Work = Somewhat secure
Public = Insecure environment
