Yes I agree. Maybe someone can help with regard to Kerio Personal
Firewall 4 with regard to this problem. I'm also a little confused with
setting up the 'packet filter' rules.
The other day I updated Internet Explorer to v.6 and couldn't get it to
work at all - clicking on its icon gave a permission denied message. I
eventually found that is was one of my settings in Kerio, that was
responsible. I'm still puzzled as to why.
I played around with the settings so much, to solve the above problem,
that this morning (yes it's early - my arthritis is playing up) that I
decided
to reset all the Kerio settings to 'my last good configuration' as per my
notes - but, surprise, surprise - after rebooting, I could apparently logon
only to find the logon dialog box reappearing, a few minutes later - in
a seemingly endless loop, with the only exit: to shutdown. Fortunately
I was able to edit Component Services from Safe Mode, and stop the
automatic starting of Kerio, to login.
Anyway, here are a few of warnings and error messages that I was
getting (Event Viewer) when IE6 was being stifled by Kerio:

Outlook express working (is version 6)
Clicking on Internet Explorer:

Can you tell me what the "-Embedding" parameter does?
I'm puzzled that there is a DCOM error, as I'm not on a network?
It certaily seems that updating to v.6 was 'good thing to do' as
there is not now, anthing like the number of intrusions that I was
getting before.
