Hello,

How do I fix my security settings so I can use a web application?

You have to be a member of weight watchers to use the app I am using. And It worked yesterday before updates/patches were applied to my PC. Now... it doesn't work. It comes from a web page that has a pop up window. The name of it is called "etools".

OS Name Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600
OS Manufacturer Microsoft Corporation
System Manufacturer Dell Inc.

SMBIOS Version 2.5
Hardware Abstraction Layer Version = "5.1.2600.2180 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)"

There is an older tool that they have... I am using it as a backup.

Strange... I guess it was at the website itself. I am new to the tool so... learned something about it.

Thanks!

hi,

you will have to allow for exception in the firewall settings.

go to control panel > windows firewall > exceptions

check the software you want and if you cannoit find it, click on Add programs

You can go to the control panel>Security Center>Windows firewall

Click the off

That should do it.

But you run a risk, if you are not behind a firewall already.
