How to restart firewall on windows 8

Hello Terry. Sorry to hear that. I would request you to follow the below mentioned instructions once:

1) First step is to use AVG Remover tool and uninstall your AVG program completely. To download AVG Remover Tool please click on the following link:For 32-bit: http://download.avg.com/filedir/util/support/avg_remover_stf_x86_2015_5501.exe
For 64-bit: http://download.avg.com/filedir/util/support/avg_remover_stf_x64_2015_5501.exe
2) Run the downloaded tool and follow the instructions displayed on your screen.

I cannot update my setings to enable the AVG firewall processes to start.
I see the message Firewall Stopped and "rest to defaults" does not clear the issue.

  1. Your computer will be restarted automatically. After the restart, AVG Remover will finish the uninstallation.
    NOTE: Once the AVG Remover Tool has done with its process. Please go to the drive where you installed this tool and look for a folder named as "AVG Remover" and I request you to delete it manually.

    As per our record you have purchased the AVG Internet Security program, please follow the instructions mentioned in this link: http://bit.ly/1DXPL5z . If the issue persists please do let us know. Thank you.
