Sounds like you're not using AVG Free A/V.

Yes I did pay AVG to get the full version and I have sent in request for
assistance to the online help, when or if they will help is something
only time will tell. So I am trying to work it out by other means.

I haven't used a third party firewall since XP SP2 was released.
I don't see the need.
To me it's like wearing a belt and suspenders at the same time, it just
makes you look goofy.
I would just remove it. The Windows firewall works just fine.

While you're waiting for (AVG's) assistance you may wish to do some
educational reading:-

Managing the Windows Vista Firewall

Deconstructing Common Security Myths
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/tec...s/default.aspx
and scroll down to:
Myth: Host-Based Firewalls Must Filter Outbound Traffic to be Safe.

Tap into the Vista firewall's advanced configuration features
http://articles.techrepublic.com.com...7-6098592.html
"...once you discover the secret of accessing its advanced configuration
settings via the MMC snap-in, you'll find it to be far more configurable
and functional. At last, Windows comes with a sophisticated personal
firewall that can be used to set up outbound rules as well as inbound, with
the ability to customize rules to fit your precise needs."

Did you perchance down load and read the manual?

Sorry it taken so long to reply to these post but my attempts failed due
to the problem. I found the AVG phone help on wednesday, they sent a
diagnostic tool, which I used and sent the results back, still waiting
for what they have to say. I took 'not even me' advice and uninstalled
the firewall, now using the one that comes with Vista.
Problem not solved but no longer a problem
thanks all
