I may, after significant effort, do all those things and it may work. But why should I disable my firewall, it's there for protection. If the website doesn't work with a firewall then there should be clear notices about which ports to open to access the content, or it should be made so it works with antivirus software.

If a paying customer can be bothered to do all that stuff and fiddle about to get it to work I will be very suprised. It should work straigh away in most cases.

And imagine a noob. Like they are going to be able disable their firewall/anti-virus/.popup killer to view this site and then re-enable it after so they are secure.
