elspeth wrote:"which firewall Windows has selected" is not relevant as I chose which firewall was active, not Windows ( as it should be ) and I already told you I chose Comodo to manage the firewall and it has done this for many months.
I would still be interested in knowing which firewall Windows has assigned firewall management to, for future reference. If you could open Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Firewall and let us know if it shows Comodo or Norton, it would be very much appreciated.
