hi , i have visual studio for windows 8 installed , when i am trying to debug my app its saying that "windows
firewall service is not running so please enable it & try again" , i have AVG internet security in my pc , i know that running 2 firewalls in no good, how can i solve this issue?? , when
i enable windows firewall , everything is going fine but my question is can't i use my AVG firewall instead of windows firewall??
That program you are trying to debug must be trying to communicate out on the network in someway. The O/S and the Windows Firewall know this, and AVG doesn't know this. That should tell you just how good AVG is if it's not alerting on this.
I suspect that AVG is not hooked into WFP on Windows 8 not like the Windows Firewall is hooked into it.
And running IPsec that's on that machine and something like the Windows Firewall with IPsec as a supplement in not a bad thing for a machine that is directly connected to the Internet.
IPsec can stop inbound or outbound traffic by port, protocol, IP and domain, and it can be a supplement to a host based firewall running on the machine.
