Then when click close you get another one after 600secs tellin you that the person who tried to attack you in the first place can now access your computer, Why not permanantly ban them and give us option to turn the warnings of.

 

I find it really annoying, for example i am in game, i.e BF2, and i am flying around in a plane just about to bomb someone and my game goes to desktop as the pop up pops up, when i click close and return to game i am dead, but only to add to the grief i know another message is going to pop up after 600secs.

 

This really needs to be looked at. :(

Hi there,

 

The notices you speak of refer to random port scanning: other computers (probably normal ones, infected by malicious software that uses them as zombies) scan your ports in trying to find a vulnerability. The Firewall blocks them for a default 600 seconds (no port scan lasts that long) then tells you it has stopped blocking them (NOT that they have gone through).

 

In order to solve this problem I will need you to do the following:

 

1. Please open BullGuard, go to the Firewall section, then go to the Overview tab and switch the user level to "Advanced".

 

2. Next, go to the Logs tab, and from the list in the top-right corner choose the Security log. In this log you will see the IP address of the computer that has tried to scan your ports. Right-click on it, choose "Ban" > "Ban remote IP address". However, before banning the IP address, please make sure that is not your own, or the modem's or router's gateway (Start-> Run-> type "cmd" and press [Enter], then type "ipconfig /all" and check the IP addresses in the list).

 

3. Then go to the Profiles tab, right-click the "Custom Security" profile and choose "Edit Security Profile".

 

4. In the small window that appears, just go to the Security tab, look for the last option called "Automatically block intruders for X seconds" and insert a larger number in that field, perhaps something like "6000000".

 

Also, you can disable these warning messages (NOT recommended), but only if you have version 6.0 of BullGuard installed on your computer.

 

a. If you have this version, please follow these steps:

 

1. Open the BullGuard console, Firewall section, Profiles tab.

 

2. Double click on the Custom Profile, and then go to the Notifications tab.

 

3. In the "When a security event occurs" section, uncheck the "Display a security notification" option.

 

Please let me know about the outcome of these steps.

 

 

 

I have done the following steps as of today 15:00hrs GMT so i will keep you posted.

 

Only discrepancy i noticed is the step about going to the security log, there where no ips listed, i can only presume this is due to the computer being rebooted and not having any port scans so far, therfore i cannot ban the ip's.

 

So far so good thank you :)
