Just got this firewall in the other day and hooked it up.<br />
<br />
Their Manuals and documentation is worthless ... Their tech support appears to be equally worthless.<br />
<br />
Anyway. &nbsp;I've got a Watchguard Edge X10e Firewall (Firmware V. 8.2.1) . &nbsp;As long as I don't enable anything, I'm fine ... &nbsp;As soon as I enable GAV (G? Anti-virus) and IPS (Intruder prevention service) it also enables the HTTP Proxy, the FTP Proxy and the POP3 Proxy. &nbsp;At this point I can no longer receive e-mail through outlook express (POP3 or HTTP mail clients) and can not view yahoo e-mails online. &nbsp;Webblocker and spamblocker are turned off.<br />
<br />
What setting do I need to change so that I can use the IPS and GAV and still be able to receive e-mail?

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
