Firewall

I got Sygate Personal free firewall a few days ago and as you probably know when it first starts it keeps asking if you want to allow access etc etc. I clicked a few things without looking closely enough. The thing is a box keeps coming up saying blocked ntoskrnl.exe and Idon't know for sure if it's ok to ;
1, leave it blocked
2, tick the box to not keep telling me
3,try to allow it. [not sure how to do that tho']
4,reinstall Sygate
For any help or suggestions thanks.

 

Good one chaslang, I'll have a good read of that.
Thanks.

 

Im am a Sygate User too, go to Applications > Access column > Then right-click on the permission > Then pick how it will access the interent "allow","ask","block"

controlmind

 

The thingy mentioned that pops up is not in the applications list????? And everything in that list is "allowed". I've seen it blocked in the log, its ntoskrnl .
Herein lies the cause of many people I know not wanting to get a firewall. You would think they could design a firewall that makes these decisions itself. A normal non-geek type person probably knows less than me even about these things and most would probably just turn off the firewall or uninstall it. So, if you are a manufacturer or developer[or whatever they are called] of firewalls, I suggest that you make 'em more user-freindly...... and then watch your sales rocket.
Thanks for the help and advice btw.

 

I do keep it blocked ,yes.
thanks

 

re: thingy
The balloon like pop-up message that's attached to the icon [sygates] by the clock.....bottom right hand corner.
The only problem I have now is when it comes up and I tick the box not to keep showing me, it continues to do so.
