Question About Firewall Pop-Up Alerts
My Bitdefender is running on paranoid mode.
The question is: what happens when we don't interact with an 'Allow'/'Block' pop-up alert in case of an app trying to access the network? Does it, by default, 'Allow' or 'Block' the app?

Good question. I think...
I've been running in paranoid mode for almost eight months and have interacted always and have now 84 of my own rules.
I didn't even know not interacting was an option.
Cheers.

Actually the question concerns those occasions when I am not near the computer.

Hi Pedro and Dallas7,
Whenever the pop-up from the Paranoid mode appears, there are 4 possibilities:
1. You select Allow and in that case a new rule for that application is created to allow it;
2. You select Block and the new rule will be created to block it;
3. You press the X button to close the window, the application will be allowed but no rule is created so next time you access that .exe file, the pop-up will reappear.
4. You do nothing, in this case the application will be blocked and no rule is created.
