It is often a lot easier for many people to use products once they understand what the product is designed to do! Obviously every firewall differs in interface and configuration but the job they do is generally the same and as such, it is just finding the right menu etc. in the program. Software firewalls can be configured to remember settings for certain programs which prevents them asking every time. For example if you had the firewall configured to ask everytime you opened your internet browser it would get highly annoying but you can set it to remember this and as such, you will never have to manuall allow it again. Most firewalls have this feature and some now automatically configure themselves for common programs. Glad I could be some help.

I'm running "The Shield" anti-virus and firewall protection and find their tech support lacking in knowledge of the product. I learned more from this article than hours on the phone with their techs. Thank you... Great article… most informative. I’m running “The Shield” anti-virus and firewall protection and find their tech support lacking in knowledge of the product.

Half the time is wasted in allowing or denying acess to the sites. This was long back and there might have been some improvements in software firewalls.
