Sign up with GoogleI apologise if this is a bit of a newbie question, but I just switched from using Sygate Personal Firewall to the Netgear DG834 and have so far been pleased with all the additional benefits.
One thing has been bugging me; with sygate, you are able to manually allow or block any application that tried to connect/send data to the internet. Sygate was also able to identify any changes in programs that try to send data across the internet and asks for permission before allowing it. Is there any similar functionality with the DG834 so I can set it up to prevent programs trying to search for updates or spyware from transferring data for example? Again, sorry if this is a basic question but any help would be greatly appreciated!
