Nod32 and windows firewall

Automatic mode — The default mode for easy and convenient use. Custom, user-defined rules can be created but are not required. Automatic mode enables all outbound traffic for a given system and blocks most inbound traffic. Allowed inbound traffic includes traffic from the Trusted Zone, as specified in IDS and advanced options , and inbound traffic responding to recent outbound communications.

Interactive mode — Custom configuration mode. Network communication is handled according to predefined rules. If there are no pre-existing rules that apply to a detected communication, the user will be prompted to allow or deny the connection. The decision to allow or deny can be saved as a new rule for the firewall. When a new rule is created, all future connections of this type will be allowed or blocked according to that rule.

Using Interactive mode, the user will be able to create a customized group of rules. This mode is not intended for prolonged use. We recommend that you disable Interactive mode after you have established a set of rules for use in your environment. Use caution when choosing Interactive mode in a corporate environment because inattentive users can accidentally create rules that might expose them to risk or hinder their ability to communicate over the network.

During installation, the firewall will replace Windows firewall. By default, existing Windows firewall allow rules will be honored. The advantage of using ESET's firewall is that all components are interconnected which means that other protection modules can take advantage of the data provided by the firewall and vice-versa.

As for phone support, I can't tell if it's available in your country. If I find out, I'll let you know. However, you can contact customer care via a form or ask other users or mods in this forum. Usually you should get a response quickly here. Hi Marco. Thanks for replying. I was under the impression that we'd bought everything.

Here's what the order receipt says I bought. Does this mean I still need to buy something else? When I open Eset on my computer, the Nod32 comes up. Have I installed it wrong? You might have downloaded and installed the stand-alone antivirus - Nod32 - instead of the complete security suite that includes a firewall. The license for the security suite can be used to activate the stand-alone antivirus as well.

If so I personally wouldn't bother. I can hear the chanting of the Leak test legion now. For a two way I'd go with Eset's if a two way is what you want. The Hammer , Feb 12, Joined: Oct 29, Posts: 4, Location: Canada. Thank you for your answers.

I don't need two way control. Bigabe , Feb 13, Just add DefenseWall Personal Firewall and you'll be x safer than before. It's light, effective and non-annoying like the others. Everything on it in it's default configuration is good enough for any users and it's firewall part no need for configuration it's automatic. Joined: Feb 9, Posts: Location: Malaysia.
