Will it get the job done?

I still use Win Vista SP2 and use AVG AV and firewall, but I have a problem syncing with an Iphone app. This is on a home network and uses a hardware router, to the internet.

"2do" task managing app, for iphone uses wifi to sync with it's app that runs on the desktop, with syncs with Outlook tasks.

2do has instructions to set up to sync though Windows firewall, but they have not configured (or supported) the product, for any other firewall. I have tried to experiement with settings, in AVG firewall, but no go.

I'm willing to leave AVG firewall shut down and just use the Widows firewall, if it's safe enough to protect the desltop.

Re: Windows Firewall

Shut off one of the virus protections (Win firewall). When running 2 at the same time, you'll always have issues.

I have never used anything other than the Windows firewall and Knock on wood have never been bit by anything.
