Why does my AntiVir from Avira (Personal edition classic) seem to be sending a TON of stuff outbound? See this because my Kerio firewall shows it in the list of connections. Asking the Q because Kerio only started showing the red up arrow last week.
TIA Lou
Well, did you check the configuration?
So what about some real evidence? Kerio shows a lot of strange random stuff, just what a network error simulation tool is supposed to do.
Its not sending anything outbound.Antivir guard communicates via tcp/ip protocol on localhost address (127.0.0.1) only.Its basically talking to your own computer.Of course updates and notifier has internet connection.Do not worry about the antivir guard local host connections...it is normal and how antivir works. me
Yes
Its a FireWall Both directions.
It's a packet filter at best, and it randomly throws error and useless messages. Utterly useless. Even "netstat" gives a better clue of what's going on, and what about running a packet sniffer?
"Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall 4 is called the best personal firewall security software in the roundup by PC Magazine."
Seriously, you do NOT want to get into this discussion.
Only reason I mentioned the quote is cause I do not understand "It's a packet filter at best,"
