Most if not all firewalls have a mode where they will ask if you want an
event to happen you just ok it and it's back to normal.

I don't know if this will help but this is how I got the transfer software
last week. I could do it no other way other than to disable my firewall and
I wasn't going to do that. I went to the APH web site and downloaded
Bookport transfer and instead of saving it I clicked on run. Then I
connected the Bookport to my computer and was able to get the software.
Next I went into options and chose the firmware update to which my firewall
asked if I wanted to allow this. I answered yes and everything went fine.
I don't know if it is going to work again this way but we'll see with the
new software and firmware.

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?
