Cause

The Firewall must also allow password protected encrypted zip files.

Before Installing your Program

It is critical that you do the following before installing your program:

Turn ON your firewall software
Turn ON firewall alerts
If prompted by your firewall, read dialog carefully and “Allow” or “Unblock” safe files
Some firewalls may prompt you to allow additional files. You must allow these additional files as well.
- Note: Proper permissions must be set for the Users to be able to update the program periodically as needed
Users must be local administrators to their PC
- Note: When the user accesses Federal and State Efiling successfully and selects their form then clicks on Accept the program will communicate with the Aatrix website.
- Note: At that time Aatrix will determine where the users is at with their Forms and determine if an Update is needed. Aatrix will prompt to do an Automatic Update.
- Note: If the user selects Automatic Update but does not retain the right to install programs it will fail and can corrupt the Aatrix program.
