Vista - firewall

my windows fire wall keeps shuting itself down, i get a virus every time i open IE and no updaters work. can someone plz help?!

Hello CSK44, and welcome to Vista Forums.

You might try the free Comodo Firewall instead to see how it works for you.

Hope this helps,

what do you think about AVG security

thnx!

You're welcome. Please let us know how it went for you.

I prefer Avast antivirus instead though.

theres better programmes the avg ...
i hate that programme as it let a virus through so yeah thats my view in suggest you change it others might think differnt through

So what is the virus you keep getting and what does your anti-virus program say about it ?

What AV are you using?
And how often do you do FULL system scans.
Do you also have Anti-Spyware and Anti-Malware?
These are also necessary in full protection of your computer.
Let us know,
Ben

it keeps sayin i got like 20 trojans but nothinll get rid of them i was usind win defend and avg now igot comodo but nothing can connect to the server

HI csk44, did you have server connection before you installed comodo? and when you installed comodo did you install the firewall only or did you install the antivirus as well without uninstalling avg as 2 antivirus programs running at one time will cause problems. Did you disable windows firewall before installing comodo as 2 firewalls will also cause problems even though windows firewall was not working properly. the answers to these questions will give us a starting point to work with in hopefully resolving your problem.

i only have one av running at a time i just have comodo for a firewall becuz win defend wont stray up i hav avg running scans and it cant find any virus but this was wierd the last time anything updated was 3/30 this year could it have been the conflicker worm?
