I need help forming an outbound rule for the firewall in vista home
premium 32 bit. I am using Windows Mail, and the Windows firewall, and
Norton internet security 2008. I don't use the Norton Firewall.
I have turned on the outbound firewall and have been creating rules for
Firefox, Skype etc. this works ok. But Windows Mail is being blocked,
because the virus scanner in Norton is not allowed to proceed. After
creating a rule for Windows Mail, if I turn off Email scanning in
Norton, then the mail connects thru the firewall ok.
My principle problem , and what I seek advice on, is that I cannot
figure out which Norton program or service to allow in a rule. Norton
has hidden itself pretty well. This is all for the outbound firewall
protection, not inbound. So I would appreciate someone to give me some
step by step advise on creating such a rule.
I want to keep using the Windows Firewall.
Thanks in advance,
