Pod 0 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 With Windows XP-SP3, I just dowload and install NOD32 trial version. I've unchecked "web protection" and "e-mail protection" (It's a french version) I start my e-mail client, but my firewall Kerio says that NOD32 wants to connect to port 110 and 995 (the e-mails ports). what's happen ?

Administrators Marcos 4,187 Posted April 15, 2015 Administrators Share Posted April 15, 2015 On Windows XP, ekrn works as a local proxy for http(s), pop3(s) and imap(s) communication. So any application that communicates via these protocols has the communication routed through ekrn. As a result, you see ekrn connecting outside in a 3rd party firewall for instance.

Pod 0 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 OK. I guess it's the same "problem" as the other question named "web protection" for port 80 and 8080 (except the difficulty to load web-pages). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugk 397 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 If you want to prevent NOD32 from scanning the internet traffic at all (so that this "redirection" won't happen) you could of course completely deactive the protocol scanning: However this is not recommend as you will lose many protection layers if you do so. Additionally if you do so the phishing protection won't work and e-mail protection will be restricted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
