    Hello guys, just a small problem looking for a quick fix.
    i installed GeSwall today, it asked me if i want to isolate firefox, i clicked yes and the error came up. i tried it without isolating Ff and it worked fine. can you help me find out whats wrong? tankyou
    and i already did a winsock repair, not sure if it helps though.

    I don't use FF so can't help you there but the easiest way is to check the logs and see what processes were blocked or redirected.

    After that, add them into FF's rules if it's safe of course.

    About GesWall.
    With the blink effect, if you turn it off this doesnt have anything to do with the protection of GesWall correct?

    Of course. I always turn it off as I don,t like it and infact I did suggest them to add the option of disabling it.

    I can,t say much but I never got such situition, now I am using beta version 2.5.0.
    U did not tell what error comes and what is ur system and other security software.

    Security level for GesWall, which one is better between the default setting of isolate known applications or auto isolate.
    They seem the same to me except with auto isolate you dont get asked anything, it seems as though GW does all the work for you.
    Also in the help section under security levels I noticed there is another setting for isolate network applications, where is this, I dont see it anywhere on GW

    they removed the "isolate network applications" a while back (before i was using it).

    You are right. I prefer Isolate known applications with pop up mode and after few times of pop up reply when u find an application is working OK within GesWall, then u can click don,t ask again to make a rule for any application.

    Do you have any ideas why my GeSWall didn't start with Windows XP Professional? I have to start it with my self or put in on startup folder. Maybe there is some registry error or something?! I'm using 2.5 RC2
