LooknStop is Looking, but not stopping!

I just got this product and I like how it is light(very much so). On the main screen it tracks the packets and sees them. However, I get no boxes asking for confirmation of an app trying to establish access to the internet. I tried to create a deny rule in the Application filtering to no avail. This firewall right now is only taking up a few megabytes of RAM and counting packets .

I have disabled internet filtering to prevent any conflict with CHX-I, and my config is shown in my signature. I have windows xp sp2 also.

Any ideas

well i dont see any picture. have u run different programs to see if u get a prompt?

 

Yes, I have tried ping.exe(from the command prompt), thunderbird, firefox, opera, internet explorer, updating kaspersky, updating ewido, updating a-squared, lynx browser, etc. . I get absolutely no indication from looknStop. I also have tried setting rules in the application section to completly ban apps such as opera, IE, etc. and that doesn't work. And yes, application filtering is enabled.

Any ideas

Hi Alphalutra1,

It can be a many things.First if your are sure that these programs are not already in APP filtering? Giving them access? ,then it won't ask you again unless the Signature of the App changed? If not then you should try this patch:

http://looknstop.soft4ever.com/Tools/LnSRegPatch.exe

and reboot.

 

The App filtering section is EMPTY. I downloaded the patch, and it said that the patch was okay (is it already installed?). I have the beta version, since I tried the regular and it did not give popups, and the beta doesn't do anything either(I completely unistalled, rebooted, then re-installed).

Still need help here

I got it working .

Here is what I did:

1) Under driver signing options, I told windows to ignore the installation of new drivers

2) I booted into safe mode, performed an unistall, and made sure that the drivers (lnsfw.sys & lnsfw1.sys) were deleted from C:\Windows\System32\Drivers (they were).

3) Rebooted back into safe mode and performed a new install.

4) Rebooted back into normal mode, and was happily greeted by a popup asking for confirmation for KAV to access the internet and Proxo

5) Problem solved, thanks to everyone who attempted to help me on this issue.

Cheers,
