Why Panda Antivirus Blocking Internet Connection ?

Panda Antivirus Pro is a major upgrade to Panda Free Antivirus with more features and bonuses, including a firewall and a Wi-Fi security monitor. This antivirus program includes a simple firewall. However, this firewall feature does have some control over how programs access the web, but its function is quite limited. It blocks suspicious incoming connections in some programs while allowing outgoing connections. Users can also configure the program control rules.

A secure browser module monitors web browsing. Unlike some security software, Panda Internet Security does not add any toolbar or button to browsers. They tend to interfere, so the Panda system is cleaner and simpler. It just works in the background, blocking malware or spyware over the Internet.When an unlicensed program attempts to connect to the Internet, firewall protection displays a pop-up message prompting you to allow or deny the connection.

However, you can change the permissions assigned to a program at any time To do this:

1. Click Firewall in the main program window.
2. In the Rules section, click Settings to define programs that can access the network / Internet.
3. Find the program whose permissions you want to modify and modify them. You can do this by using the drop-down menu that appears to the right of the program name.
