I'm not sure which firewall is best with jfw but, I do know that look n stop hasn't rated well in many firewall challenges I've seen. Komodo works well but, it's a pain to configure with jfw and is quite verbose and confusing to a newer computer user. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Curtis Delzer" <curtis@xxxxxxxxxx>

Problem with look & Stop is that the rules as configured don't allow talkingto your network as set up before it is installed, and Magic Jack, anotherproblem (again by default), so if you install Look & Stop, prepare yourselfto do some looking around the options to make rules for these considerations.

However, my problem with turning Windows Firewall on, is that I do go to Windows Firewall in the Control Panel and saw on the general tab that windows fire wall is off. My question is how do I get the checkbox checked using Jaws to turn it on? I do not manage with the Jaws cursor and a sighted friend failed using the mouse.Does one switch this on by going to one of the other tabs - exception tab oradvance settings? Then, can Look'n'Stop be used with AVG and Windows Defender? Is Look'n'Stop a free program? Thank so much!

So for better protection I suggest you give Look'N'Stop a try. Hope that helps. Why not join my Blind Hobbyist group?

I am using AVG 8 free and Windows Defender for protection. For some or other reason Windows Fire Wall is off (not recommended)? Should I switch this on and where and how do I do this using the latest version of Jaws 9. Thanks.
