How do I modify my firewall or Internet Security?

Sage and the Actian database can be mistakenly identified as an intrusion threat by many firewall and antivirus programs. This is due to the way that Sage installed apps (such as Peachw.exe, w3dbsmgr.exe, and others) communicate with other workstations on a network and with the Internet.

What firewall am I using?

• Run our Security Application Scanner to search your computer for firewall and antivirus software, refer to the link in Additional information.
• Use the mouse to hover over the icons in the system tray, in the lower right corner next to the clock. Each icon should give you the name of the application that’s running. Look for Internet Security or firewall software.
• Select Start, All Programs, and then look for Internet Security or firewall software.
• Select Start. Settings, Control Panel, Add/ Remove Programs, and then look for Internet Security or firewall software.
