Protection of the installed product
To provide the firewall with the highest security possible, it is necessary to ensure that unde-
sirable (unauthorized) persons has no access to the critical files of the application, especially
to configuration files. If the NTFS system is used, WinRoute refreshes settings related to access
rights to the directory (including all subdirectories) where the firewall is installed upon each
startup. Only members of the Administrators group and local system account (SYSTEM) are
assigned the full access (read/write rights), other users are not allowed access the directory.
