Once installed, you need to set (via icon ion task bar, down right corner), the "Firewall Security Level" to customm Policy Mode, and the "Defense + Security Level" to Safe Mode for all normal activity. The firewall of course needs to learn the software behavior of all that you have installed, and will do that whenever somethign gets called up the first time. This could lead to an annoying ripplefiring of confirmation - and choice boxes as long as you haven't set the Defense+Security Level to "Training Mode", where the alarms will be silent, and the firewall will assume that you really want the components you have started to be carried out undisturbed by the fireewall. So whenever you starts words or a game for the first time, or when you install something!!! - set it to Training Mode. Do not forget to reset it to Safe Mode when having finished, and even more so when connecting to the web.

After a short time, once the wall has learned your software habits, you will not be harmed by alarms anymore, and usually adjuist the security leveol only when in stalling new software, becasue every software installer is understood to be new software and thus alarms the Firewall, so for installing: switch to training mode, and also during the first ever-run of new software.
