I have COMODO Firewall Pro 3.0.15.277 on my PC. It sprang up an Alert on 23 1 08 about something called System trying access my PC. I was unsure of what to do. I ticked the Block This Request option. Afterwards I regretted doing it. I assume System is Microsoft trying to contact my PC to tell me there are updates for Windows XP Pro (my OS). Is it possible to undo what I have done and let this thing called System access my PC, please?
Go to firewall/advanced/network security policies. Find the entry for “System” and delete it or allow it outgoing TCP/UDP… This is how CFP lumps together some of the Windows stuff, like smss.exe the session manager.
I have followed your instructions and changed the Action to Allow. I was not sure about the TCP. I will have to see how I go with what I have done. Thanks for the instructions.
