Changing Alert Settings

To enable or disable Killer Firewall:

1.Right-click on the Xeno Killer Tray icon.

2.Select Xeno Firewall.

3.On the General tab, under Firewall, select the On button to enable Killer Firewall; select the Off button to disable Killer Firewall.

Note: When Killer Firewall is enabled, alerts are also enabled automatically.

After Killer Firewall is enabled, alerts are enabled automatically.

To change alert settings:

1.On the General tab, locate the Alerts section.

2.Select Exception alerts will be made:

•Per Application — use this setting to receive alerts when a program tries to access the network. This is the simplest option; Killer Firewall notifies you only once when a program is requesting access.

•Per Individual Port — use this setting to receive alerts for every port that programs are trying to access. This is a complex option; Killer Firewall notifies you multiple times if a program needs access to multiple ports.

Adding Killer Firewall Exceptions

Each time Killer Firewall notifies you about a program that is requesting access to the Internet, it will ask you if you would like to add this program as an exception to the firewall rules. If you select Yes, Killer Firewall automatically adds that exception.

You may need to edit an exception occasionally, especially if you patch or reinstall a program and it then requires a different port or protocol. If this occurs, edit Killer Firewall exceptions.

To edit Killer Firewall Exceptions:

1.On the General tab, under Exceptions, select the program name for which you want to edit firewall settings.

2.Click Edit.

3.Edit the settings.

4.Click OK to save the settings and return to the Firewall screen.

Deleting Killer Firewall Exceptions

You typically need to delete a Killer Firewall exception after a program has changed, been patched, or uninstalled from your computer.

To delete Killer Firewall exceptions:

1.On the General tab, under Exceptions, select the program name for which you want to delete exception settings.

2.Click Delete.

3.Click Yes when prompted to confirm the deletion and return to the Firewall screen
