No you have it backwards, "deny" means deny the access! Deny
the change, etc. You have an "Allow" and "Deny", in most
cases.

Dear Clint and Hugh,
Deny. Sounds like reasonable advice.
Of course, these AV programs were just doing their jobs when
they warned me
about the change. If I keep clicking on Deny whenever I am in
the dark
[story of my life :-) ] then I'm not allowing the programs to
give me the
protection that they were designed for.
