In short, there's nothing we can do. Firewalls, at least for most
people, are a necessary nuisance.

Hi all.  I just downloaded and installed both the software and firmware

updates for book port.  Here's why the subject is a question.  I use
Sygate 
free personal firewall and enjoy the fact that in most cases I don't
have 
problems with it running in the background protecting my computer. 
However, 
in order to get the book port transfer software to recognize the
updated 
firmware I had to disable Sygate in order for the firmware to be
downloaded 
and installed thus compromising my computer.  Wouldn't the good folks
at APH 
be able to resolve this disconcerting problem?  I tried alt-tabbing
after 
launching the updated transfer software and this time Sygate would not
gain 
focus using Window-eyes.  Once I disabled Sygate and heard its dire
warning, 
the transfer software opened and spoke as it normally does and should
and I 
could then download and install the firmware.  Surely APH could make it

possible so that I don't have to disable Sygate every time I update the

transfer software, can't they?
