It asked me for permission for Mcafee AV, for MSN Messenger, and for my SMC
Router firewall. OE was apparently automatically configured, it didn't ask permission for it. -- If I can help you I will. If you can help me thanks.

On my SP2 RC1, the answer is no. Are there any programs for which you do not have to grant permission? I have seen popups to install ActiveX controls via a web site, but never to control outbound connections for the following: MSIE Outlook Express AdAware v6 NIS 2003 AVG v6 MS Word MBSA TIA |

I don't understand why that says it automatically allows all outgoing when
that clearly wasn't the case on my computer. It also doesn't have any outgoing options when you open the firewall settings. This doesn't make much sense since the firewall program opened and asked if I wanted to grant outgoing permission on 3 different occasions. I need to do further research on the subject I think so I can find out what the deal is. -- If I can help you I will. If you can help me thanks.

I aid I was gong to look into it further and I did.
It appears that myself and, presumably, S. Heenan didn't actually read the firewall pop-up closely enough. I discovered this when I tried to run MS Frontpage. The message poped up again and I read it a little closer. It is asking permission for the program to accept INCOMING transmissions so it had nothing at all to do with outgoing protection. That's a bummer but at least I got to the bottom of it. :-) -- If I can help you I will. If you can help me thanks.
