When you are on the Windows Firewall Screen, select the Exceptions tab. Ms_windows_firewall
In the Exceptions tab, you can add programs that Windows Firewall will allow to access the internet. In the example to the right, you can see that Windows Firewall allows iTunes to access the internet from this computer.

If you do not see mozybackup.exe listed, click on the Browse button, and browse to the following folder:

After this process, you should see the Exceptions tab on the Windows Firewall screen showing mozybackup.exe with a checkmark next to it.
At this point, Windows Firewall should allow Mozy to access the internet from your computer.
