Note
The Firewall prioritizes application rules before making entries in the list of trusted
providers: If you have created an application rule and the application provider is listed in
the list of trusted providers, the application rule will be executed.
12.4.4 Settings
Advanced options
Firewall enable
If the option is activated, the Avira Firewall is enabled and protects your computer from
risks originating from the Internet and other networks.
Stop Windows Firewall on startup
If this option is enabled, the Windows Firewall is deactivated when the computer is
rebooted. This option is enabled as the default setting.
Windows Host file is not locked/locked.
If this option is set to LOCKED, the windows host file is write protected. Manipulation is
no longer possible. For example, malware is not able to redirect you to undesired
websites. The state of this option is NOT LOCKED as the default setting.
Automatic rule timeout
Block forever
If this option is enabled, a rule that was automatically created, for example, during a port
scan is retained.
Remove rule after n seconds
If this option is enabled, a rule that was automatically created for example during a port
scan, is removed again after the time you have defined. This option is enabled as the
default setting.
Notifications
Notifications define the events under which you wish to receive a desktop notification
from the Firewall.
Port scan
If the option is activated, you will receive a desktop notification if a port scan has been
detected by the Firewall.
Flooding
If the option is activated, you will receive a desktop notification if a flooding attack has
been detected by the Firewall.
Applications blocked
If the option is activated, you will receive a desktop notification if the Firewall has
denied, i.e. blocked, network activity by an application.
