Agreed. Which is why it's more confusing that it adds them with the blue question mark (no permissions) not configured. I can't figure it out. This is a recent update in the past few months it wasn't always like this.
Since you are so eager to prove me wrong or whatever I'll post the installation steps taken...
- Selected option, Custom installation, Uncheck Set my default... Uncheck Install Security Toolbar [Next]
- Uncheck Inform me about product updates... [Next]
- Check I accept... [Install]
- Selected option, Custom installation (advanced) [Next]
- Do not participate in DefenseNet [Next]
- Off... For the SmartDefense option [Next]
- Information screen about fraud protection [Next]
- Selected option, Do not setup my programs [Next]
- [Restart Computer]
I agree that is really easy!!! Definitely not cheating myself
. I still cannot figure out why entries are added, not configured in anyway, with no permissions (blue question mark) at random when they are opened. Since I chose every option like I said for ZoneAlarm to do nothing for me. Technically it's not doing anything I just don't like this feature but there is no way to turn it off, which is why I mentioned it! It didn't use to be like this! Even if programs aren't accessing any network services it still adds them with no permissions. It doesn't configure them in anyway. It just adds to the list with a blue question mark and no permissions... like I keep saying :|
Thanks for your concern rdmaloyjr maybe you can input on the matter.
