Guest Steve Tumasian Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 How do I add ports to block in the xp firewall? Thanks, Steve T
Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Re: change firewall settings You don't add ports to block. You add "exceptions" to the blocked list. Anything that isn't an exception, or a built in exception for standard procedures (HTTP, for instance) are already blocked. Why do you ask? What are you trying to accomplish? -- Gary S.

Guest Steve Tumasian Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Re: change firewall settings I read on http://www.bootdisk.com that I may be getting pop ups on my desktop because spyware is getting through ports 135, 137-139 & 445 and I should block them. It also states that ZoneAlarm blocks these by default. I don't necessarily want to go the ZA route as I already have a router with a firewall. Thanks, Steve T. "Gary S.

The Windows firewall blocks all inbound connections except for those you see in its Exceptions. (ZA and others can also block *outbound* connections). I find it highly unlikely that your popups are due to firewall holes. Most likely, you have spyware/malware *installed and running* on your computer...which you or some other user inadvertently invited in. Therefore, the correct course of action would be to address the cause, not the symptoms, by cleaning up the malware. Check out http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Viruses_Malware for starters, and try posting in microsoft.public.security.homeusers for some help with your situation. > > "Gary S.

Guest Steve T Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Re: change firewall settings Thanks Lawrence. I'm just trying to find a solution to the desktop pop ups. The firewall settings was one suggestion to a previous post on July 31. I have already gone through the Ad-Aware, Spybot, SuperAntii, CWShredder, Multi_Av, all in Normal and Safe modes without any resolve. I'm at the point of having my Gateway go through a Restore/Recover operation and worry about re-installing my apps. This all started last weekend after downloading some old MADTV and In Living Color videos from Youtube with a free converter from Snapfiles.com. Don't know if it was co-incidence or what. All of the above apps were up to date. My AV is from CA and I've never had a problem with it. The Multi_Av was also a suggestion. Steve T.

Guest Steve T Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Re: change firewall settings I had removed ZoneAlarm Pro from my PC about a month ago because of the slow boot times. I re-installed it and within a couple of minutes it notified me that "isys32.exe" was trying to connect to the internet. I allowed it and up came the pop up from that website. I searched for the file, it was in Windows\System32. I deleted it and I no longer have the problem. Previous to deleting the file, I googled it and discovered mostly links discussing spyware so I deleted it. Thank you Zone Alarm and thanks to all that offered help.
