How do I allow Spybot S&D Updates through the Windows Vista Firewall ?

[JordanJP]

Greetings,

I am using the Windows Vista Firewall and I blocked all outbound connections except those that have a rule. Now obviously when I come to update Spybot it won't work. So I went into the Windows Firewall Outbound settings and tried to configure Spybot updating for outbound connections, however It won't work.

I was wondering where and what am I supposed to select in order to allow Spybot S&D updates through the Windows Vista Firewall ?


Regards

Jordan

Can anyone help me here ?

There should be a "Exceptions" tab that lets you configure which programs to allow, because by default Windows Vista Firewall blocks most outbound connections.
