Blocked Application Was Allowed Access

Hi.

Vista Ultimate and BD Total Security 2013.

The firewall is set to paranoid.

This morning I received two popups asking if I wanted to allow or deny firewall access to 2 processes. I chose to deny both requests (see attachment "capture 02"), however when I investigated the 2 new alerts in the BD "Events" area of the widget I was taken to the "Firewall Events\Firewall" tab where I found that both of the processes I blocked were somehow automatically granted firewall access (see attachment "capture 01").

I am puzzled... what is going on here?

Regards

Click on the "+" for both blocked rules in the Firewall Application Rules and then post here the snapshots again.

I think those rules are different. You blocked the flash player from running. But it was flash updates that ran in your system and granted access.
