Granting a program permission to access the Internet
Many of your most commonly used programs can be automatically configured for safe Internet access. To determine whether a program was configured manually or automatically, select the program in the Programs List and refer to the Policy field in the Entry Details area.
To grant a program permission to access the Internet:
- Select Application Control| View Programs.
- In the Programs column, click the program for which you want to grant access, then select Allow from the shortcut menu.
For information about granting programs permission by responding to an alert, see New Program alert.

Note - Built-in rules ensure a consistent security policy for each program. Programs with access to the Public Zone also have access to the Trusted Zone, and programs with server permission in a Zone also have access permission for that Zone. This is why (for example) selecting Allow under Trusted Zone/Server automatically sets all of the program’s other permissions to Allow.
