IMPORTANT about Firewalls and Antivirus!! - EA3GCV - 24-07-2016 Dear users, Most firewalls and antivirus look out very strictly all external connections of applications. Swisslog (and many other ham radio applications) do a lot of things! Swisslog exchanges info with many programs via UDP, TCP, XML, DDE connections, connects to internet to send and receive data, give system orders to start certain programs… Summing up: from the point of view of firewalls and antivirus (unfortunately) Swisslog is detected as “dangerous” and block its normal functioning. The bundle is served! Here some examples:
After Swisslog is installed, I highly recommend you add an exception to Swisslog and other ham radio applications (such as WSJT-X, JTDX, MixW, etc) in your antivirus and firewall (BOTH!). This way you will avoid many issues that are not related to any Swisslog bug but a firewall and antivirus proper configuration. Best 73 |
