Just checked firewall on cable connection after Sp2 install.
1) Under exceptions, remote assist is checked but I have not
enabled it in System Properties, nor did I enable it in firewall.
Is there some other meaning to this that it needs be on?
2) Under Advanced, Msmsgs is enabled for Tcp & Udp. I
disable Msn Messenger in Windows applications because
I think it may a source of malicious attack. I use Outlook
but without messenger activation.
Again, is there a reason for this being auto set?
Non firewall question: Does ones homepage mean anything
more than what one sees when activating Browser? I find that
msn.com for example is slow to fully load at times, so I tried
www.null.com which does nothing according to source code
and as proof, loads really fast.
Thanks for any help.
