You are not Sophos Staff.
Just installed SAV on Mountain Lion. Now, for any site I visit I get an alert from LS asking whether to allow or not. Very annoying. Don't think this was hapening with SAV in Snow Leopard.
OK, created permanent rules to allow WIB to connect to any server, Port 80/443, Protocol 6 (TCP). End of annoying pop-ups, but is that safe to allow? I suppose it is, since many SAV users don't have LS.
Yeah, could be right. Since I've started using Sophos on this 10.8.5, I'm no longer seeing Firefox connections in the Little Snitch network monitor. Looks like everything is going through the WIB. I'll temporarily disable that and see if Firefox itself is making that connection to Google SB.
Yep, that was it. I had forgotten that Firefox makes that connection on startup. And now I can see why I've been getting requests from helpd to connect to images.software.com, which I've now blocked. No idea why it wants to connect to that site, which AFAIK I've never had any business with. But that's another issue. Thanks.
