Barrie, It appears that when a rule comes into action you have the option of having a sound played, a message appearing on the screen, or nothing happening. Only in exceptional circumstances would I want to have these messages on the screen - that would be worse than the sound! At the moment I have turned both off - just trusting it to be doing its job. But I am puzzled why with Sounds turned on your system is silent. Apparently you can set a sound in an edit box, but if that is blank it uses a Windows default sound. The only thing I can think of is that you have a hardware firewall which means that Look 'n Stop is not having to use its rule set. I am on a dial up connection and rely on whatever software firewall is installed.
