Also, regarding Sygate. If you are constantly bothered with Sygate telling you that a program is blocked from accessing the internet, go into Options and select stop Sygate popup and alerts. It might be under security or configure. I'm not a Sygate user, but I remember having those annoying pop up alerts and how to halt them.

Yes but you can tell it you have these, and it'll make this alert go away.
