1. What logic is used to create new firewall application rules? Is there a whitelist?
2. What insurance is there that an allow rule won't be created for a rogue application? I had this happen and want to prevent this but at the same time do not want to have to use paranoid mode. Thanks |

Hello (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Welcome back. 1. We have a large database with known files and publishers. If the file is in that database, the connection is allowed. 2. Rogue applications / Fake Antivirus products don't have a digital signature for the files and the connection will be blocked. Also, if the antivirus engine detects the file as infected, the firewall will automatically deny the connection. Take care. |
