Firewall Turns On And Off

stedmakr

I have Win 7 and just purchased IS 2016. Often (not all the time) the Bitdefender firewall will not turn on. The windows firewall is off. I click on the firewall module box and it blinks blue then dulls out. When this happens I turn on the windows firewall so I have some coverage. Sometimes after I have turned on the windows firewall the Bitdefender firewall will turn on by itself and both firewalls will then be active.

The other thing that happens occasionally is when the Bitdefender firewall is suppose to be active the windows 7 flag (bottom right of screen) that says there is a problem and the Bitdefender firewall has somehow turned itself off.

Am I doing something wrong or is the Bitdefender firewall buggy? Looking for solutions

Thanks

W7 is buggy. In all seriousness I strongly suggest upgrading to W10. I was running W7 onf a six year old Dell PC with an Athlon II CPU. Windows 8.X would not run on that Dell but Windows 10 runs a lot better on that Dell than W7 did. Really.
