What should I do when I see a program trying to send or receive data?

When Firewall displays a Network Event window, prompting you to allow or block the activity, you have several choices:

  • If the network event is from a known safe program, ensure the Always take this action checkbox is checked and click Allow.
  • If you see many events for the same program, click the down arrow next to Allow and select Allow all for this application.
  • If the network event is from a known harmful program, block this activity by ensuring the Always take this action checkbox is checked, click the down arrow next to Block, and select Block all for this application.
  • If the network event is from a program you are unfamiliar with, ensure the Always take this action checkbox is NOT checked and click Block. Check the common programs you use to determine what the program is. If the Network Event window displays again for this activity and you are still unsure what the program is, block the activity and click I'm not sure (send report) for technical assistance about the activity.
