No cryptic messages, no bothering popups.
Then you just through it make easily a rule that allows your browser to go online and bam it works while everything else is automatically blocked.Īnd the best part that at first feels strange? There are no notifications that something was ever blocked. What it does is block all traffic after you install it(except some windows native stuff like windows update.). Its just an interface for windows firewall, hence the name since its light, small and much less likely to fail when the actual blocking is done by windows build in stuff.
If you enable that, you avoid this behavior where application firewalls are useless with avast installed.Īnyway, its a great choice for free AV, other one good is avira now when they dropped the ad popups, and bitDefender, though that one has almost zero settings and options, you dont even get to decide what to do with the file when it finds something.Īs for firewall, TinyWall is just so god damn awesome. There is setting in the webshield part: "scan traffic from well-known browser processes only." Meaning if you block some shit, it will get online because it goes through avast and people tend to allow their antivirus to go online so it can update its malware database daily. Avast has some issues with firewalls since its acting like proxy between your applications and the internet.
