11. Firewall Settings
The Firewall configuration opens in a new window where in several dialogs you can set up very
advanced parameters for the component.
However, the software vendor has set up all AVG Internet Security 2012 components to give
optimum performance. Unless you have a real reason to do so, do not change the default
configuration. Any changes to settings should only be performed by an experienced user!
11.1. General
The General information dialog is divided into two sections:
Firewall status
In the Firewall status section you can switch the Firewall status as the need arises:
Firewall enabled - select this option to allow communication to those applications that are
assigned as 'allowed' in the set of rules defined within the selected Firewall profile.
Firewall disabled - this option switches the Firewall off completely, all network traffic is
allowed but not checked!
Emergency mode (block all Internet traffic) - select this option to block all traffic on every
single network port; the Firewall is still running but all network traffic is stopped.
