I haven't used a third party firewall since XP SP2 was released. I don't see the need. To me it's like wearing a belt and suspenders at the same time, it just makes you look goofy. I would just remove it. The Windows firewall works just fine.

So I am trying to work it out by other means. While you're waiting for (AVG's) assistance you may wish to do some educational reading:- Managing the Windows Vista Firewall http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc510323.aspx Deconstructing Common Security Myths http://www.microsoft.com/technet/technetmag/issues/2006/05/SecurityMyths/default.aspx and scroll down to: Myth: Host-Based Firewalls Must Filter Outbound Traffic to be Safe. Tap into the Vista firewall's advanced configuration features http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10877-6098592.html "...once you discover the secret of accessing its advanced configuration settings via the MMC snap-in, you'll find it to be far more configurable and functional. At last, Windows comes with a sophisticated personal firewall that can be used to set up outbound rules as well as inbound, with the ability to customize rules to fit your precise needs."
