Whilst your comment "Everything is right here. You can get DCOM popups even with FW installed." is entirely correct. It is a pain in the rear and scares the horses when it is fired, where a standard firewall wouldn't trigger an alarming alert message.
Is there any way to reverse this order if in the case of a third party firewall driver ending up behind the network shield driver ?
Either that or don't display the DCOM exploits, etc. in the network shied or give the use the option (as was in avast 4.
for the network shield to be silent. Though obviously not for all alerts, such as the malicious url alert.
This would be the same way as a software firewall doesn't display any pop-up unless you put it into to some sort of paranoid mode.
