| 1153852 | 2010-11-17 06:46:00 | Hi All. I have put Sygate Firewall on this computer again.I realise it takes a while to train. However I have a recurring prompt. NT Kernel & Systems. ntoskrnl. Any idea what it is telling me? TIA PJ |

| 1153854 | 2010-11-17 07:03:00 | Double click Sygate icon in Taskbar/right click NT Kernel & Systems/allow Are you sure? I used to use Sygate and in my notes that I took from their tech forum it says to block it. If these are incorrectly configured then a remote user may access your PC or crash it. First, block the following applications: NT kernel & system C:\Windows\System32\ntoskrnl.exe |

| 1153856 | 2010-11-17 07:26:00 | Personally, the less contact my computers have with Microsoft the better. :cool: | FoxyMX (5) | ||
| 1153857 | 2010-11-18 03:55:00 | Right then. I have tried ":Allow" & "Block" but it still appears. What next? PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||
| 1153858 | 2010-11-18 04:07:00 | Assuming you tried those settings when the popup appears, did you put a tick in "Remember this setting" (or words to that effect)? | FoxyMX (5) | ||
| 1153859 | 2010-11-18 04:08:00 | You probably cant block it completely, there's probably more than 1 instance of it. So, no matter times you try and block it, you cant | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

Why use such an outdated firewall anyway ?? |

Why use such an outdated firewall anyway ?? Because it seemed the most simple to use. Freeware program advice heeded!!! I think I will have to get rid of Sygate, it was a good program before it was taken over. I don't want to have constant reminders. Like wot Comodo dus. PJ |
