Greetings all,
 
 I just installed Kerio firewall and am purplexed as to what should or  
shouldn't be allowed connection. I use AOL and assumed anything with AOL in the  
name would be needed for my conection(???) so allowed them all as well as  
anything relating to AVG and Avast. I denied access to such things as Real  Player 
and Internet Explorer (since I only use Opera as a browser). I also get  
messages that an address (of the numerical type) is trying to send packets  to 
Kerio on my machine. (OK?)
 
 While attempting to write this I have been interrupted by several  
connection attempts such as;
 
222.161.2.9 port44429 wants to connect to port 1026 owned by "SYSTEM" on  
your computer
 
And;
 
ISMMODULE2.EXE from my computer to 76.9.9.190 port 80
 
If I don't understand it, I don't allow it. But since I fail to understand  
most of what's displayed, I fear to create a rule against some benign, needed  
connection so end up denying over and over!
 
 I guess I'm asking if there is an 'easy' way to learn what these  different 
request are really associated with so I can determine what to  allow.
 
 Many Thanks,
-Phillip Williams-
