Avira Professional Security - User Manual (Status: 14 Dec. 2012) 76
Note
Avira FireWall should be immediately detected by Windows Action Center, but if
you get the message, Windows Firewall is turned off or set up incorrectly, this
means that neither the firewall from Windows nor the one from Avira are
activated. You can enable or disable Avira FireWall in the Status section of the
Control Center. You also have control of the Avira FireWall via the Action
Center > Security. Once in the menu, the option Network firewall manages
the Avira product and you can enable and disable it. If you cannot enable it, try
rebooting your computer.
Warning
If you turn the Avira FireWall off, your computer is no longer prevented by
unauthorized users from gaining access to it through a network or the Internet.
