    Online Armor is blocking this C:\WINDOWS\system32\Drivers\HTTP.sys . Should it be blocked or unblocked?

    Caliban I don't need no steenkin' title!

    Greetings, cinderedna...

    As far as I can tell, this is a valid system file, part of the Windows network protocol stack used to funnel HTTP browser requests...I would imagine it's safe to assume that the file should be allowed to operate...

    Hi Caliban,

    Thank you. I wasn't sure why Online Armor was saying that the file was trying to access the Internet. But if you think it's OK, I'll unblock it. :)
