 * hello,
 * i get so many file detection alerts, and i am not sure if that is normal?
    so
   the question is, is it possible with ninjafw to forbid all file changes, also
   for the installed plugins? thanks

 * Hi,
 * You can exclude files and/or folders when you create the snapshot.
 * What kind of file change notifications are you receiving? They can be due to 
   updates, or a caching plugin etc.

 * Hi
 * That means there was a plugin update and hence NinjaFirewall detected that the
   files were modified. NinjaFirewall cannot block it because there is nothing suspicious
   here.
    You would need to block automatic updates for instance. But that is not
   always a good idea, i.e., if there were a vulnerability in the plugin, it wouldn’t
   be updated automatically.
