I have turned the booster back on for about a week and my internet has not been interupted yet. I can confirm that it was the only adjustment I made at the time.

I have already provided a screenshot - its called Firewall Booster as you have mentioned.

Well I wasn't able to connect to the internet so I turned it off and now I can connect to the internet so it must do something!

It does, it has a 'firewall booster' this is what I turned off. no need to be rude about it!

What I turned off was the trend micro 'firewall booster'. Screenshot attached.

I had to turn off my Trend Micro firewall as it was stopping me from connecting to the internet. I've used it fine for years but for some reason it won't work now. Is there a risk not using the Trent Micro firewall? I already have the windows firewall active.
