Thank you for the reply. 1 last question, if "Silently and automatically block untrusted access to user data" is left unchecked, instead of automatically blocking it, will it ask me if I should block the unknown program or not?

+63Hello,
This is my personal settings as I want to see everything what's happening on my system. So these settings you can set for your specific preference and liking from the default, I like knowing if anything is acting up so I choose to see all pop-ups from WSA!
