    This presupposes that one is using the Windows firewall. But, what about those that are using either Norton, McAfee or, as in my case, ESET Smart Security? Because I am using a different firewall my Windows firewall is turned off, so I don't believe adding a program to be allowed through is going to do any good.
    • Hi Ron, If you are unable to activate or launch your program, you may need to add executables to your firewall exception list. As you’ve stated, the method for accomplishing this will vary depending on which firewall program you use. The program executables are specific to the Brain Fitness Program, so these remain the same regardless of which security program you are using.

      C:\Program Files\PositScience\2_0\Neuroscience\HiFi.exe
      C:\Program Files\PositScience\2_0\Neuroscience\LaunchPad.exe
      C:\Program Files\PositScience\2_0\Neuroscience\Activate.exe

      We’ve listed the contact info for the most common firewall/security software manufacturer’s on a similar topic here: http://support.positscience.com/posit...

      Additionally, if your program is being blocked from launching, it might be also be resolved by allowing the executables to your DEP settings. Instructions are here: http://support.positscience.com/posit...

    Idon't have a firewall, but do have virus protection through Advanced System Care and AVG Free. How will these affect the installation?
