If you run Jetico or any other firewall with 'allow all' you have all doors open for what ever kind of attack which are not topped by any program like Spyboot. It is the same as ruuning your PC without any Firewall.

Well, according to the security tests at grc.com I seem to be fine. When I had JPF set to optimal protection it would constantly pop up questions about the same routine processes, over and over. I'm not too worried about outbound programs since I run a Spybot scan weekly.

Please note that using "Allow all" policy is virtually the same, as not using firewall at all! Are you sure you have considered the implications?

Did you set the Allow all rules set as the default set?

Also, you don't install Jetico to avoid a lot of pop-ups, you create fine tuned rules and use it to protect yourself.

I'm a problem with my JPF installation on Windows XP on an Eee 701. I prefer to use the "allow all" setting to avoid having lots of pop-up windows, but whenever I reset the computer it gets changed back to "optimal protection". On my other WinXP and Win2k machines this doesn't happen. Is there something I might be doing wrong?
