Remember last used state
If this option is enabled, the status of the Allow privileged option is handled in the same
way as for the previous network event in the Network event window: If the option Allow
privileged was enabled for execution of the last network event, the option is enabled by
default for the following network event. If the option Allow privileged was disabled for
execution of the last network event, the option is disabled by default for the following
network event.
12.5 Firewall under SMC
The firewall of AntiVir Professional is configured to meet the specific requirements of an
administration through the Avira Security Management Center. Extended options and
restrictions exist for individual configuration options:
– The firewall settings apply to all users of the client computer
– Adapter rules: Security levels for individual adapters can be set using context
menus
– Application rule: Network access by applications can be allowed or denied. There
is no way of creating specific application rules.
If Avira AntiVir Professional is administered by the Avira Security Management Center,
the following firewall setting options in the AntiVir Professional Control Center on
client computers are deactivated:
– Setting of the firewall safety levels
– Setting of adapter and application rules
12.5.1 General settings
Advanced options
Lock Windows host file
If the option is enabled, the Windows host file is write protected. Manipulation is no
longer possible. For example, malware is not able to redirect you to undesired websites.
Game Mode enable
When this option is active, Avira Firewall gaming mode is automatically activated when
an application is executed in full-screen mode on your computer system. In gaming
mode, all defined adapter and application rules apply. Applications for which no rules are
defined with the Allow or Deny actions are temporarily allowed to access the network, so
that no popup windows appear with questions about the network event.
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.
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.
