Firewall exceptions

[Guest Jorge Bravo]

Could you tell me, please, why I should need (translating literally from

on-English system)

 

Peer-to-Peer grouping of Windows;

 

structure UPnP;

 

Protocol name Peer resolution (PNRP)

 

Could these be a threat by opening access to hackers?

 

Thank you

To set up a small "home" network where you can have file / printer

sharing with more than one PC (Peer to Peer grouping and Peer name

resolution.)

 

UPNP is usually used to added additional networking devices that are

not PCs. Usually for network aware media streaming components.

Thanks

 

I have a possible problem that I do not understand. Because I had a virus

that opened Internet Explorer in the Windows Firewall I have been watching

it and disallowed just about everything. But in a very short time TWO

entries appear which I had not approved. They are identical: Windows Media

Format SDK (iexplorer.exe)

 

Is this normal? If so, what causes the entries to appear?

 

 

Thank you very much
