Cain B Enhanced Firewall cannot be turned on.. I think?
So I went to turn on this new enhanced firewall feature after updating to the latest version of AVG Internet Security and it seems like I can't for some reason. When I click on TURN ON it gives me this error message:
Enhanced Firewall not available!
Repeated attempts ended in the same way. However here's the thing, when I went to check on the Enhanced Firewall option in the Hacker Attacks screen, it's apparently actually turned on but for some reason it keeps telling me that it's off in the main menu and urges me to turn it on, ending up with the same error message. I tried making it turn on via a computer scan when it gets to the Advanced issues section multiple times, the scan tells me that it's off, I click on RESOLVE ALL, it says the issue is now fixed, only to return to the main menu where it yet again tells me that the enhanced firewall is off.
Is this a bug caused by the latest version of AVG Internet Security, or this a problem on my part? An answer would be appreciated, thanks.

Himmat Kanjee Enhance Firewall > Internet Connection Sharing Mode checkbox not working for LG SmartShare
Hi AVG,
After I did the updates to AVG version "20.2.3116" on the 1st of April 2020.
The "Setting > Enhance Firewall > Internet Connection Sharing Mode checkbox is ticked" doesn't let me share my files through the "LG SmartShare" application as it supposed to be. This multimedia app was working fine through my TV before the AVG updates.
The "LG SmartShare" application only works when I switched OFF the "Enhanced Firewall".
I've been searching for a solution on the community threads for allowing the "LG SmartShare" application through AVG when the "Enhanced Firewall" is switched ON and I have done these following instructions below, but they are not helping. Please help and I'm not happy after the updates is now basically blocking my multimedia application where I made no changes to the AVG's Enhanced Firewall advance setting after the updates. Have went to:
-> Menu\Settings\Troubleshooting. Scrolling down to the "Reset All Settings" section and Clicking the "Reset To Default" option
-> Program and Uninstall > Select Uninstall for "AVG Internet Security" > Repair
-> Program and Uninstall > Select Uninstall for "AVG Internet Security" > Uninstall and then downloaded "Ultimate AVG" and reinstall.

Please enable all System rules in Firewall settings, click Ok and check with smart share.
Change your network profile (below list of network profile) from Public to Private and check with smart share again.
Keep us posted.

M B Firewall Managing Application Rule Issue
Hi all,
There is no option to see/change firewall settings in the new version (20.1). I mean, I used to change application rules when I open "old settings" and managed the rules. In this current version, however, I cannot find any option to do so. Any solution?

Best Answer chosen by M BSanthosh Pannerselvam (Avast)Hi,
We understand your concern.
The old setting option has been removed in the new version of the program.
However, you can access the application rules from the program
Open AVG program -> Hacker attacks -> Enhanced Firewall -> Firewall options -> Application rules
Let us know, if you need further help.

Peter Greenacre License Renewal
I have had AVG IS and TuneUp for years and usually are able to renew my subscription when the existing has expired by simply opening the dashboard and inputting the new key
. I've been plagued for the last two weeks to renew (same for TuneUp and other notifications, it makes you wonder if it's worth the hassle) but I usually wait until the expiry as if you renew when all the notices start popping up you always loose out on days if you renew too early. My existing licenses ran out at mignight last night so I went to renew this morning and now I can't even open the program to renew the license. I just don't get it with AVG and perhaps it's time to go with another?

Joe DeWeese Continual File Shield alert screens
I just installed AVG for Mac. Everything seemed to be fine with scanning and quarantine. However, I now get the "File Shield alert" pop-up window continuously and it won't stop popping up. I have tried clicking "Got It" and just closing the window but it pops back up every 5 seconds or so. I can't get anything done because of this. How can I make it go away?? I used AVG on my PC for years and never had a problem. If I can't fix this I'll have to uninstall AVG for Mac.
