What is a software firewall?
A software firewall is a program that protects your computer and alerts you when it blocks any access to the net-
work. The HP software is not a threat to your computer in any way, but the firewall will prevent it from being
installed unless you unblock the HP software.
Windows Firewall
When you install the HP software with the Windows Firewall enabled, one or more
Windows Security Alert
messages might appear. If this happens, click the
Unblock
button.
Third-party software firewall
Third-party firewalls such as Symantec™, McAfee
®
, and ZoneAlarm
®
might block the successful installation of
the HP software. For best results, disable the third-party software safely and temporarily as follows:
1.
Disconnect the cable to the Internet from your router, modem, or gateway.
2.
Look at the Windows system tray in the lower right side of the screen. If the firewall has an icon there, try
right-clicking the icon to display a menu. Then select an appropriate option such as Disable.
3.
When you have successfully installed the HP software, re-enable the firewall and reconnect your cable to
the Internet.
