[Resolved] Firewall?
« on: June 02, 2012, 05:14:36 PM »
I upgraded to AIS and the avast firewall doesn't run. Is this because I'm using Private Firewall. And, yes I re-booted.
I'm asking because I want to be able to answer the same question in case anyone else asks.  :)

edit: I get the message "Shield Unreachable".

Most probably, please deinstall PF.

I think I will keep PF since it has HIPS. The only reason I upgraded was for SafeZone and the on-demand sandbox.

Well, then deinstall the FW module in AIS.

Is there a conflict with PF I don't know about?  ???

What do you mean...??
You can't use two FWs together, exept the AIS FW with the W7 FW.

Remove Private Firewall with their (removal tool) and remove AIS with AswClear in safe mode. Install latest version of AIS.

PS:Did you upgrade from Avast Free?

The issue has been resolved. I did not need to do a clean re-install of AIS. All I had to do was do a "change", which does not require "safe mode". What makes it worse is I already knew the answer.  :-[  Just had a brain f**t. And now I'm quite sure Asyn is getting a good chuckle. I know I would.  ;D
