Pop-up settings
•
Inspect process launch stack
If this option is enabled, the process stack inspection allows a more accurate control.
The firewall assumes that each process in the stack which is trustworthy is the one
whose child process enables the access to the network. Therefore, a popup window
is opened for each process in the stack which is untrustworthy. These options are de-
activated by default.
We recommend you to keep the default settings as you would
receive a flow of pop-ups otherwise.
•
Allow multiple pop-ups per process
If this option is activated, a pop-up window is opened each time an application tries to
build up a network connection. Alternatively you are informed only on the first con-
nection attempt. This option is deactivated by default.
We recommend you to keep
the default settings. So you receive only one pop-up window per process.
•
Automatically suppress pop-up notification while Game Mode
If this option is activated, the Avira Firewall automatically changes to the game mode
in case an application is executed in full screen mode on your system.
In the game mode, all defined adapter and application rules are applied. The network
access is temporarily allowed to applications for which no rules with actions (allow or
refuse) are defined. So no pop-up windows with questions about the network event
are opened.
We recommend you to activate this option if you play games (online
games) on your computer, so that you are not disturbed by irritating pop-ups during
the game.
