I constantly have an alert up saying my firewall needs to be turned on. However, when I click on "turn on firewall" it simply refreshes and the alert appears again. I read other posts on similar problems and a suggested solution was to uninstall then reinstall the program - I have tried that, but it hasn't worked.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Total Protection 4.13.0.0 several times, ran all updates, ensured Full Disk Access permissions are set correctly, but yet the firewall will not turn on.
Anyone else haveing this same problem and does anyone know what the answer is?
Thank you in advance for any help.
