Denied But Connected?

Hi SB, can you post a screen shot of network monitor that it's denied? From what I understand, when we say application, it connects to the internet using more than 1 IP address such as update servers, etc. It would also help if you can post what application this is and how you set the rule to deny the application.

I have a network monitor running that just informed me that an application that I denied access to the i-net just connected anyway. How is this possible?
Win7 Pro x64
BD IS
Malwarebytes Pro
Win FW-- off
Hi sb.750,
Which application? (Maybe it could run over denial access mode? just to check the activation key )
Malwarebytes Pro? Is it the "live" version of Malwarebytes? It could create a conflict with BD IS, the MB "passive" version is fine. To use both active BD & MB could bypass the denial access mode. Deactivate MB pro and check the results.
Rules: one FW, one AV, one or two anti malwares...

It is one .exe that connects to several IPs. Outgoing and incoming which is a bit disconcerting. And yes.......I'm paranoid0 -

Malwarebytes has nothing to do with this. It doesn't have a FW nor does it care if an app connects to the i-net. There are also no conflicts between BD and MB.0 -
Very quiet in here
A little update, Since BD is an outstanding AV (<-most of the time " />) I decided to go back to my favourite set up.
Outpost Pro FW and BD AV. Outpost had a driver conflict (BSOD)on my laptop but its fine on the new PC. Admittedly it takes a bit work to have the two run together but in the end they do.
Also, to my very surprise the BD IS license works on the BD AV.0
