Can someone explain this for me????

I dont understand why CIS4 has a block AND an allow rule for ‘all applications’ which causes numerous random blocking of programs. Can someone explain/investigate this further?

Changes in Firewall

1 - Automatic rule creation is disabled by default
While FW is in Safe Mode, it no longer creates automatic FW rules unless it is configured to do so by using Firewall->Advanced-Firewall Behavior Settings-> Create rules for safe applications".

2 - Default Firewall Policy i.e. “COMODO Internet Security” changed
When installed as a suite i.e. AV + FW, default firewall policy is changed so that:

1 - All incoming connections are blocked by default
2 - All outgoing connections are allowed by default

If you want the old behaviour of the firewall then just delete that All Applications rule. You might also have to run Stealth Port Wizard.
