    Multiple Windows Firewall exceptions for the same program?


    I have a couple of programs that have multiple entries in the Allowed programs (such as Skype) and every time I use this program, it adds another one.

    They look to be identical. They are all listed in both the "Allowed Programs" as well as the "Advanced Settings" > Inbound Rules. They have the same program path.

    I know other Win7 pc's that I have (and use the same software) dont' have this issue, so I would assume that it's a local setting someone on this machine that's making that happen.

    Ideas?

    Thanks.

    Welcome to Seven Forums keastland. There was a similat thread here, but while there was advice to remove the entries, it does not address their creation.

    Win7, Skype + multiple Firewall entries

    Thank you. That appears to be exactly the same issue that I/we are experiencing. I'll refer to that thread.

    Thanks again.
