Which is ... ?

ForgottenSeer 97327 · May 4, 2023

Sorry, forgot to post

Choose ignore when you get messages after an upgrade prompt (after two weeks of upgrade nagging, it silences out) and choose SMART mode for ransomware protection and firewall

I see that AVG Free now features a firewall.

I have not used Avast/AVG for several years, how does Free Firewall compare to Firewall in the Paid versions?

I just installed AVG to test it.

Avast Premium Security also has them

ForgottenSeer 97327 · May 12, 2023

Free firewall has a smart and a strict mode in Avast Antivirus free and a smart mode only in Avast One free. Smart mode means it checks whether the programs requesting in and outbound connections are on the blacklist. in strict mode the user gets a notification (to decide to allow or block like any application firewall).

In Firewall terms, the free is only an application firewall (monitors programs which make traffic request) the premium firewall also inspects the traffic itself. Most routers have a Firewall which can do deep inspection of the traffic (look into protocols) and have spoofing protection mechanism. Some routers have a mechanism to send you an alert (through email) when port are scanned or certain errors or events are recorded.
