Rep Power: 2  |  what is port and program exception in Firewall? Whenever any application requires to open the firewall, make sure to tweak your firewall by selecting "Program exception" rather than "Port exception"for the application to work. Program exception will open the port only for that application, it will not unnecessarily allow other traffic. While Port exception will make entire port open which makes your system more vulnerable. Also Open ports only for the time required. There are also free services from well trusted sources available for testing your computer for wide range of online threats. One such product is Sygate Online Services (Symantec Security Check)- Free and an effective tool that helps determine your internet security needs.
