I had to get checkpoint to write a patch to allow some programs through the
http worm catcher, we would turn all of the definitions off and it would
still drop communications.
if we turned off the root worm catcher it would allow communications to
pass.

So SmartDeffense like Microsoft does stuff that you have no control over.
