Sygate new release

If you're using the pro version you can email tech support about the problem. If you're using the free version you can ask them how to fix the problem in the sygate forum. I don't have the sygate forum link but I'm sure someone here might.

TAG97,
from where did you get these info ?
I can not find it on Sygate's website

 

YES it does. you have to uncheck the box to take away server rights.

minacross, in the Online Help for Sygate Personal Firewall PRO.

 

Here's a little bit more

Does the Firewall protect against viruses and Trojans?
The Personal Firewall does not check for viruses, but it works well with virus-scanning software. Programs that access the network are checked for Trojans. If one is found, the network access is blocked to that Trojan program, and the program is automatically terminated. The Personal Firewall specifies the location of the Trojans, but does not delete them from your computer.

After updating one of my applications, the Firewall shows a major attack. Do I have a Trojan?
Upgrading any program will change the MD5 checksum, a value that the Personal Firewall uses to verify the integrity of each application on your computer. When the Personal Firewall sees that the executable for an application has been changed, it logs this in the Security Log with a severity of Major. If you have updated the software yourself, then there is probably no Trojan attached to it. However, if you have not updated the software and you receive this message, you should block the application and install a virus scanner using the latest signatures to remove this Trojan.

Does the Firewall do Stateful Packet Inspection?
Yes, the Personal Firewall does Stateful Packet Inspection on every Remote TCP connection. The Personal Firewall also uses an algorithm to check Remote UDP and DHCP traffic to make sure that the communication is secure

 

So how much of a security threat is the automatic allowing of server rights? This is one of the things holding me back from purchasing it.

 

Another question: when Sygate would block an ICMP ping or connection attempt, it would show this:

blocked - severity: 15
allowed - severity: 3

What was it allowing?

 

Hi mvdu
This is easily solve by highlighting each application>clicking advance>unchecking 'act as server'
It took me five minutes to do 25 applications.

It should be in your Traffic log to the right of "severity: 3"

I have Sygate off right now - that was an approximation of the appearance. I am wondering why it had both those entries for things it blocked.
