i recently moved from using Zone Alarm to using Sygate Personal Firewall
because ZA used up too many computer resources and
it took too long for Internet pages to show up
too long for Explorer to browse my computer
and too long for applications to open.
i suppose my machine works faster now
but i get sygate notifications every minute or so
about windows services trying to reach the internet - it has blocked.
for example svchost ntvdm and others.
my questions are: why did sygate automatically decide to block them?
if they were alowed to connect to the internet in ZA then why cant they do
the same in Sygate?
most importantly - where and how do i re-enable them to connect?
checking the box in the notification window corner "don't show this window
agagin"
doesn't have any effect because the same notification windows re-appear all
the time.
