Hi Chris
I shall definitely give Look'n'Stop a try.
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 or
advance settings?
Then, can Look'n'Stop be used with AVG and Windows Defender?
Is Look'n'Stop a free program?
Thank so much!
Renette

Hi, you can turn it on by opening Windows Firewall in Control Panel, however
the problem is that Windows Firewall only protects incoming traffic and
allows all outgoing traffic to go through. So for better protection I
suggest you give Look'N'Stop a try. Hope that helps.
