Packet Scheduler Miniport??? AVG Firewall question?

Question

I'm concerned something bad might be on my computer. It has been running extremely slow so I turned it off and unplugged it from the wall for a few minutes. When it loaded up there is a AVG Firewall Profile Switch box that popped up. It says:

A new or an unassigned network was detected on Intel(R) Pro/100 VE Network Connection - Packet Scheduler Miniport adapter. Please enter the area name caption (then there is a box to enter the name I want to call the network)

THEN it says:

Please choose the desired Firewall profile. The profile will be activated upon all future connections to this network.

My choices are Allow all, Block All, and Standalone computer... there are two check boxes

One says "disable area detection and automatice profile switch
One says "disable dialog for assigning new area

Two buttons... "Assign Profile" and "Without Profile".

Does anyone know anything about this and what it means? I'm at a loss on what to do. Thanks,

Answer 1

It sounds like you reset your internet when you unplugged it. If your computer is not connecting to the internet that's it. If it is still connecting and adding a network then I'd be worried. First go to AVG web site, then support to look for that issue. You can also post there. You also might want to do a full scan with avg.

beneficial you're arranged to. Firewall protects your laptop no longer in basic terms from virus yet to boot from outdoors connection. working occasion, if a utility tries to speak with that's server, avg would not something yet firewall does. It asks you to permit the communication or no longer. Had this device been a undercover agent ware, your techniques could have been truly misused. So that's frequently a pleasing thought to maintain firewall! stay hazard-loose :)
