Countdown timer messes up installations.

I've been using the Sunbelt firewall for a couple months and so far I'm really liking it except for one 'feature': the countdown to deny timer. Having a countdown to deny timer is a great idea, but it needs to be an option and not a requirement. This has messed up more than one installation for me when I've been trying to multitask and looked away for a moment during a long installation. It denies something and the installation fails without me even seeing what happened. Then I have to go back and do it all over again. Disabling the firewall during the installation is not an option either as I don't want to allow everything, and nor is it realistic for me to never take my eyes off my screen in case something pops up. I just need it to wait for me before assuming I want to deny it because I don't respond within a few seconds.

This problem has been frustrating enough to make me want to change firewalls altogether. Before I resort to that and switch from an otherwise great firewall, I want to make sure that I'm not just overlooking a configuration setting. Is there any way around this issue?
