I am on Win7x64 . Have just formatted and reinstalled [ I do this every few months ]. I am seeing firewall popups for the same application twice or thrice now . FDM [5.1 beta] and unified remote server in particular . Twice for maxthon and shareit . How do I check if everything is alright ? edit : forgot to mention , was having the same issue before formatting also , which started just a few days ago
FDM is known for having troubles with Firewalls and antivirus programs. I personally don't trust it as Malwarebytes keeps poping saying that a malicious website has been blocked, and this happens everytime I download something through FDM. Switch to other torrent client like qBittorrent (GPL) or Deluge (GPL) or LimeWire (GPL, but written in Java). Or see this list to see which client suits you best: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_BitTorrent_clients
I was using tixati , but I downloaded FDM and it had a built in torrent downloader so I dropped tixati for the time being . But FDM is not the only one with the issue . I am getting same problem from maxthon and unified remote control too.
I solved the issue myself . used tweaking tool's repair and selected just windows firewall . Haven't seen a popup after that
