Personal firewall (Kerio Personal Firewall 2.1.5, fresh install) constantly
popup window 'Outgoing connection rule' with text: "Internet Explorer' from
your computer wants to send UDP datagram to localhost.abc.com [127.0.0.1],
port 1070", every time I connect to any web page. What this mean, and should
I permit this outgoing connections?

It doesn't sound vicious to me, as the Web address direct to the localhost
127.0.0.1, but I'm not sure about the abc.com, is it the extension been put
by Kerio?.

127.0.0.1 is the localhost (your machine

Please check your hosts file to see if it contains one enty (see below) or
others:

127.0.0.1 Localhost

If more than the one list above, delete them

Apparently IE uses UDP to access the cached files (via localhost). I don't
use IE anymore but at the time I was very annoyed by all the popups so I
created a rule to allow it to make *any* outgoing connection for UDP. Not
the brightest thing to do I suppose but I suffered no ill affects as a
result of it. So I would think you'll be fine if you just create a single
rule to allow connections to localhost.

According to info researched on the Internet you may have denied the first
one of these messages & that is why its asking you each time to post back
data to your own computer

What I suggest you do is open the firewall & see where you tried to block
that original site, change to accept or just delete that entry. The next
time you receive the popup asking you as before accept it. Now, close IE &
re-open & try again. Has the popup disappeared? If so, try another site to
see if it appears again. Is it the same port? If you are getting the same
port then open your firewall again & create that rule to always allow
traffic through that port.

What I have noticed by researching this is that some people have moved to
Zone Alarm because of this annoyance

The latest version (6.2.2) can be downloaded here:

http://www.kerio.com/kwf_download.html

The manual for the above is located here:

http://www.kerio.com/supp_kwf_manual.html

Post back your results in allowing that port in your current version please.

More precisely, I have no problem with firewall popups, popup was shown only
once, for new application, then rule is created. i'm a bit worried about
this strange extension 'localhost.abc.com [127.0.0.1],port 1070" firewall
added. Since this is localhost, its probably not vicious.
