AGV Firewall not working.

I put AGV8 on my PC and it's been fine till today when a warning sign telling me that my firewall isn't turned on. I can't find out how to turn it on. (doh!). Do I have to reinstall the whole AGV thingy all over again? I'm soooooooooooooo technically minded - not.

    What firewall do you use? What operating system?

    Don't know about AGV, but the free version of AVG doesn't include a firewall.

    Can you remember if you signed up for a free trial of one of the "paid for" versions, one of which does?

    Thanks for your replies. I did the security center/firewall check and it says that the Windows firewall is ON. I didn't know that AGV didn't control the firewall so thanks for helping a technophobe.

    It depends if you have AVG 8 free or AVG 8 Internet Security (paid for).

    It's free AGV of course - I'm an MSE-er!
