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

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

1153855 2010-11-17 07:12:00 Well presuming that your computer is not already compromised then this is a legit component of MS and is trying to contact MS presumably but if you like don't tick 'allow', tick 'block' then you won't get any more asking/prompts but if things don't work as you expect then remember that you have blocked this. zqwerty (97)
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)
1153860 2010-11-18 04:29:00 Typical Firewall made by (guess who) if you click on Download Page (www.filehippo.com) - Sygate Technologies --guess who's site pops up. :rolleyes:

Seems this brand of firewall is causing the most hassle with those files.

Why use such an outdated firewall anyway ??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
