Thread Name: Tech. New free firewall
Subject: RE: Tech. New free firewall
Those approve and deny messages are the reason I don't use a firewall. None of the addresses make any sense to me--and more often than not, when I clicked deny, I screwed up some application that I want or need. I did use a firewall set to a rather low level of security that I questioned if it did any good, but when we added a wireless home network, it wouldn't let me on-line and I couldn't figure out what to allow as an exception so I could get on-line.

I'm to the point that anytime I see an address that is .exe, I get the heebygeebs.
