Hello, I'm running sygate personal firewall pro 5.5 on a single home
machine connecting to the internet via an ADSL connection. Most recent
virus scan (nod32) showed no viruses on system.

Should the following "running applications" be allowed to connect?

1. generic host process for win32 services
2. NT kernel & system
3. application layer gateway service
4. LSA shell (export version)

thanks

Yes, but go into advanced properties and disable it acting as a server.

> 2. NT kernel & system

Can you even connect if you disable it?

> 3. application layer gateway service

Why are you running this? It is needed if you are running ICF (Internet
Connection Firewall for pre-SP-2) or the Windows Firewall (SP-2). Are
you running 2 software firewalls?

> 4. LSA shell (export version)

If you want to connect to other hosts in your intranetwork. See
