Thanks Moore. I am removed it from the preset and hopefully it shouldnt be coming back in. Cant agnitum actually fix this rather than have to modify the preset.1st file though.

Hi dvd_rw :)

I think you just need to remove the line from preset.lst , you dont need to replace it with anything , going by Paranoid2000s reply here :

I guess by removing it you will have to create the rules for any programs / connections that may need to use it yourself.

Too bad I never noticed paranoids post before :o , right above my clueless post too, lol , I was still wondering what to do with this thing , thanks for bringing it back up..

Hi,
I know alg.exe is application layer gateway but I dont think i need it.I am constantly getting alg.exe in my application list even after removing it from the partial applications and I even dragged it and put it to blocked application but it appears again in the partially allowed applications. Is this a bug in the firewall?
Any help on this would be great

Thanks
dvd_rw :eek:

Hello dvd_rw,

It is not a bug. It is in the preset.lst and to disable it you have to remove the Auto Next to Group: for Alg.exe so it does not load after being removed.

Thanks Goonman for the reply,

What should I change the group from auto to so that in case I need it agnitum asks me to allow it or deny it as for other applications.

Thanks,
dvd_rw
