    My security setup is with Avira 8 Premium Security Suite and Windows Defender. Today for the first time Avira is sending me a popup saying that a IP Packet with a numeric code, which I think is something I have loaded on my laptop, is being denied access. I have no way to identify who is sending these packets. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks

    Do you perhaps mean an IP address with 'numeric code'?
    Like in the first pic from this Avira forum post or was it something completely different?
    What was it with the numbers that makes you think, it's something you have installed?

    You can change the settings for Firewall popups and notifications as shown in this avira forum post pic and this one.
    Cheers.
