Is possible, if you disable the firewall, that a person see the alert notification.
If this person click on the "Fix", of course, re-enable the firewall again, but I think it will turn off the firewall again when you restart the computer, it's possible?
The only thing you can try to do, is disable the notification of firewall in status bar on the policy group
When i turn of the firewall or antispam in a group, all computers in that group turn yellow and the client tells me its not fully secured
Via the advanced settings it is possible to control the firewall and antispam. In a later release there will be better GUI access
Edit group settings -> Expert Settings -> avastcfg://avast5/Common/PropertyPowerbarFirewall -> 0
Edit group settings -> Expert Settings -> avastcfg://avast5/Common/PropertyPowerbarAntispam -> 0
(thanks Soaked for the correction)
Unfortunately I've not the ABPP but only ABP, then I can't try to investigate with firewall shield
, but I did some tests with other shields..
