Hi, Sister.

If you have the free version of AVG, it does not include a firewall. Only the paid/licensed version of AVG includes a firewall.

From Microsoft, To turn on Windows Firewall
  1. Open Windows Firewall by clicking the Start button
    4f6cbd09-148c-4dd8-b1f2-48f232a2fd33.jpg
    , and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type firewall, and then click Windows Firewall.
  2. In the left pane, click Turn Windows Firewall on or off.

    If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Just a slight correction there Corrine, ;)
There is a subtle difference -
I have the paid / licensed version of AVG 9- no firewall included.
[The other two paid / licensed versions do have a firewall included.]

Welcome back sister,
Which version of paid AVG is it?

AVG Internet Security 9 inc firewall
AVG Anti Virus & Firewall 9
or AVG Anti Virus 9 [ no firewall. ]



Are you able to answer my original questions as well?

It is important to know if your computer came with a preinstalled Anti Virus, if it has been removed, & how, prior to installing AVG.

We are here to help you as much as we can.

Click the flag icon in the system tray on the bottom right, choose to open action centre and then click the arrow next to security. Under Firewall, Windows's built in one should be active or one of your installed antivirus app's. There might be link to see the firewalls on your pc - and in this case the built in one should be disabled. As for AVG you can choose to uninstall it, using a removal tool, and then switch to Microsoft's Security Essentials.

Were you aware that sister said that she had the paid version of AVG?
It is uncommon for people to pay for software & then ditch it readily.
