Hi, I installed CIS-Firewall (Defense+ is disabled). As a test, I selected 'check for updates' in Adobe Acrobat. Acrobat had no problem con.

I have reported this issue but received no solution so far. I cannot understand how customer support shows no interest in sorting out flaws in their products.

I suppose they expect me to settle with the fact that whatever their assumption maybe I should accept that ESET firewall protection is flawed and continue paying them yearly subscription fee for the product that fails to block an unauthorised Internet access for Adobe Acrobat X. Maybe someone in this forum can explain why this is so. As I've explain to support already the firewall does not detect Acrobat's access. In interactive mode I should see a pop-up authorisation window appear.

But here is nothing. It bypasses it completely. I've created rules manually for every component that goes online.

All but Acrobat X trigger the permission pop-up window. How would you feel watching it downloading updates while in Rules and Zones it is blocked on every port, in both directions. Internet Security 4.2.71.2, OS Windows 7 Pro (latest updates installed).

Click to expand.Actually no. My mistake before was to allow blanket access to everything that uses svchost to go online. Now when I've deleted that rule. Matlab 7.14 Full Version here. Firewall presents me svchost as the thing going on line but the address is Adobe's. I don't know but for some reason I can still get online via Firefox. What I don't like is the idea that Acrobat can pose as Windows system service in sneak out that way.
