Hi There,

It helps my PC every moment from fraud and viruses. So please tell me how can I active windows firewall?
Hello Lonie,
Yes you are correct for the firewall is very important in order to be protected from viruses and stuff. By the way be sure that you are using the administrator account so that you can freely turn it on.
So let's start. Go to your Security center and just click the Windows firewall tab(see attached image). Then click the ON option then press ok.
This should do the trick. Again remember you must have an administrator account to do this.
Hope this helps.
If you want to activate your Win Firewall,
You should be sure that you have the latest updates in your windows then click (Start) and then (Control Panel) then (Security Center) so you can see the settings of firewall on or off and you may find it (on) unless you have changed your system or activate your firewall from third party application so then click (Recommendations).
So you can change the firewall setting so click (Enable Now) and then click Close for the notification that will appear and then click ok to close the recommendations.
So go back to windows setting and copy and paste file name links if you need to add them the firewall exceptions list and this will banned firewall from internet traffic that may be incoming or outgoing that is generated or received from the selected program.

You may have this Solution to:
From (Start) choose (Control Panel).
