Multiple entries in firewall and usage with portable apps

Only discovered this in the last couple of days as I don’t usually run applications from a USB device. On this occasion, I was just doing some very long overdue maintenance! I don’t think the issue is particular to PortableApps[dot]com i.e. it affects any software being run from a USB device. My initial workaround was to temporarily toggle From “Ask To Connect” to “Click To Block” before running the USB app (e.g. PortableApps[dot]com Updater) but the ‘delete from whitelist’ is a more secure workaround so thanks for that.
