Hello,
I just installed Bitdefender Internet Security 2013 since I won a one year key for it. When I restarted the computer and I noticed it came up that it blocked a port, so I carried on and tried to get on the internet when I realized that my internet wasn't working. I found it strange so I checked my phone and sure enough the internet wasn't down. So I decided to see if BD was the problem. So I opened up BD and turned off the firewall. The internet connection then works fine again. So I then go into the firewall settings and noticed that stealth mode was turned on. So I tried turning it off and sure enough the internet worked fine with the firewall mode on and stealth mode off. It doesn't work however when stealth mode is turned on. I am not sure what stealth mode even does. Does anyone know why it's blocking my connection when it's turned on?
I use a wireless connection.
