Hey Guys,

Here's a Question,

Do you set your security to:

1 - Allow All Incoming Connections
2 - Allow Only Essential Service (Block all Incoming)
3 - Set Access for Specific Services + Applications

Mine is Set to 2, and then i have to change it to 3 to use iRemote, MediaLink and a few other progs what's your advice????

3.

I like to know wt exactly is transmitting or not

so you would suggest that 3 is better than 2??

I don't think it's an issue of which is better but how much control you want to have.
It's security vs. convenience.
I personally block all and manually allow the one I want.

so dtube is that opp 3 or 2 im not sure

opt 3.
