Am I to understand if you miss the pop-up notification, you have ability to see if anyone is logged into your wireless network?

Hi Escalader, After trying PCFlank (and other FW leaktesters) and doing some searching on the web, I found out that BD firewall doesn't protect against DLL/application injection, DNS connections and some other types of methods used to bypass the FW. Sadly, this means that BD FW doesn't offer as much protection as I hoped,…

Try ShieldsUP! It's the best Firewall tester out there. If you configure BD correctly, it should pass on every test. I too have BD 10IS, and I'm 100% protected by the firewall (it passed ShieldsUP! with flying colors). It seems my computer passes these tests with flying colors whether Bitdefender is running or not.

So I went to ShieldsUp and Bitdefender passed every test. I’m curious though about the test ran at this site: http://www.firewallleaktester.com/categories.htm Specifically this area of test: "LAUNCHER Description The program access to the Internet in launching an authorized application and in goingtrough it…

Cris thanks for the suggestion. I'll do that and I appreciate the help.

Don't get me wrong.. I love Bitdefender, the virus shield is top notch IMO. My computer is clean as a whistle, I also run Spyware Doctor 5 in addition to Bitdefender, but are you telling me I shouldn’t be concerned by my firewall failing leak test? What about an application that sends personal info that the virus shield…
