In short, there's nothing we can do. Firewalls, at least for most people, are a necessary nuisance.
micmey@xxxxxxxxxxx 03/08/06 02:31PM >>>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?
