Re: Windows Firewall problem on Home Premium
Thanks Doug, I visited AVG website and they stated that if you can't see a
Firewall component in your AVG software installed that means you don't have
firewall installed and your license number is not intended for firewall
components. Also this problem happened when I uninstalled the Onecare Live,
thus uninstalling Onecare removes some associated firewall files? And how to
reinstall or repair Windows Firewall. I Google a lot but failed to get an
answer, especially if you have error after sfc /scannow that can't be
repaired, and I can't veiw the error too even I followed the commands.
