Yes that is correct.
That doesn't necessarily always mean that if you do NOT click
deny anything is going to be "changed" or harmed (see my post
again on that AMA site that has embedded videos), sometimes,
although perhaps unusual, it's requests from a legit source.

Dear Hugh and Clint.
I see.
Let's sum up the situation:
"Deny" means that I want to deny access to the invasive malware
or program.
It does not mean that I am denying access to the AV program.
The bottom line seems to remain the same, though. If I don't
know what to
do, I should click on Deny, right? In that way, my system
remains the same,
without change.
Thank you for correcting my misunderstanding.
I wonder whether I'm the only person who was confused by that
terminology....
