    I dont currently have vista installed. But will be setting up tomorrow on VM to check JPF2 with this OS.
    You will need 2 rules from popups. First on "Access to network", allow this. You will then recive a popup for internet access. Look at the popup, you will see a drop down menu, select handle as->"Web browser"

    from configuration-> optimal protection -> Application -> Ask User -> Access to Network -> then look for nod32krn.exe -> change log lebel to "disable or debug"o_O

    can you check with this sir sterm if i do it right?

    geez!!! this Jetico firewall is not for little boy, but i'm getting there :D

    Hello fce,

    I do not normally use the default layout of JPF2. So I have re-installed default to check.

    Jetico have now changed how "Access to Network" popup is handled: So,..
    First look through your rules and remove all rules for "nod32krn.exe".
    Then make a manual update of nod, you will be given a popup, select, Use Template-> "Web Browser",

    thats very informative!!! thanks!

    can i use also that procedure to some of the program (example Superantispyware, bluetooth, vaio update, etc.) i want to automatically update without jetico asking permission?

    btw, whats the effect of that "web browser" (in terms of firewall security) if i use that procedure to some of my program?

    Nod updates by HTTP(remote port 80), so giving nod "browser" access will allow the updates.
    Not all software will update by the same connection (such as nod via HTTP), some will use HTTP, some will use alternative or FTP. The easiest method is to make a manual update of each app, the popup will give certain info. The first popup will only show access to network, so if you are unsure how that app updates, then just select "allow" for this, then another popup will show for the actual internet connection. Check the info shown, if this shows a connectione to remote port 80, then selecting the template "Browser" will probably be correct, if the remote port shows as 21(FTP) then you would need to select template "FTP client" (as examples)

    Such template as "Browser" will allow outbound for that application, as with any application, care should be taken, with such as nod, then there is no ploblem with allowing this outbound, it will be the same for most other AV/AM products,.. it is really a case of if you trust the application that is asking for the outbound.

    From reviews I knew it wasn't going to be a 'piece of cake' and would be very difficult to configure but felt I could rise to the challenge specially i have people like you stem :thumb:

    alright another question: :D
    - when i try to block one pop ups (i think its google toolbar application), suddenly i cannot connect to the internet but my internet connection is fine. do i really need to start my computer just to connect again to the internet?

    One of the problems with Jetico is that it does not actually stop/block such as injection/thread etc, it will only alert to such. So if you have a running application that will attempt indirect access via the browser, and you block this, then due to "chain" (running app->hook(whatever)->browser), Jetico will block the browser.
    This i will say, is not something I like, but this is how Jetico works.

    Like, for example. I have a screen capture app running, this will make global hook. Some Hips will allow you to block this directly. Jetico see this, but will not block the loaded dll/hook/injection, so you either allow indirect access to the screen capture app or get blocked from internet access from the browsers that have been hooked/injected (untill the screen capture is disabled/gone from memory).
    You do need to look at this when using Jetico,... if you do not want such as "google toolbar" having access to internet, then remove/uninstall it.

    As we do not know as to what caused your "freeze", this could be a driver/service installed on your PC (not on others) that requires indirect access to run, so unless Jetico can scan/check for all drivers/services that require this, then I would personally be reluctant to say it should be fixed in this latest version.

    HJT will only help with possible malware, it will not show what is blocked by JPFW( which is causing your reported problems)

    Was this a clean/new install, or did you use rules from last installation?

    Do you mean to allow KAV network access? OR, is KAV7 now intercepting attempted network access by other applications?(I have not looked at KAV7)

    stem,
    this jetico is new version i installed in my computer. i un-install the previous version that causing the problem.

    Yes, KAV7 is now intercepting attempted network access by other applications. last time when i open yahoo messenger, jetico will pop up and ask permission to allow the program. now i can't see the program yahoo messager program asking permission, its all in the name of KAV/avp.

    KAV does act as a local proxy for Internet access due to the web scanner. (I thought at first KAV7 may be giving a popup to other application Internet access attempts). There is info here concerning the needs of KAV Internet access.
