Firewall disable when buying on line

Why are you requested to disable a firewall when purchasing on line ?

Because it could possibly cause the transaction to fail, and the download not complete.

Now, I donʹt like to be on‐line without a firewall.

So you could disable your standard Firewall, but turn on the XP firewall.

This occasionally works well and the transaction completes

However instead of disabling the firewall why not simply ʹallowʹ

The site you are buying from on the internet access in the firewall settings?

This to my mind would be the best method.

However, it normally isnʹt harmful if you sitting right at the computer whilst the download is operating to temporarily disable your firewall.

Although you should re‐enable it immediately.
