in Firewall

Hi


New here. Running W8 and BDefender Internet Security 2013 with all the latest updates. I keep getting a message from W8 saying both firewalls are off. When I check W8 firewall is indeed OFF, but BDefender firewall is ON.


Cab any one help me please?


Cheers

    Hi tonyt, and welcome :)


    It is a known glitch, that will eventually be resolved. As long as the Bitdefender 8 main console shows Green, then you are just fine. Since Bitdefender Firewall is included in the Suite and is On, use that one, and leave Windows firewall off. Here is a thread concerning this situation: http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=170691


    Kind regards,

    You're welcome, it was gladly done :) Also, to correct myself, you're using the 2013 version (cp. to BD 8) yet it still applies.
