I do not know how to stop the PING REPLY (ICMP Echo) but wish I could. The old 4.x of Zone Alarm Pro I loved and it stopped everything.I would go with another firewall that works with XP hewee and then do a search online "how to stop the PING REPLY (ICMP Echo)."
On this PC I had the port 113 trouble.
Run scan on all ports to get info on port 133 and look here. https://www.grc.com/port_113.htm
I think I went into the router and made setting change that blocked it.
Wonder if you can still use the old Zone Alarm Pro 4.x on XP Pro. I ran it for years and did not pay after first year to get updates and I like how I could deal with program rights and block what came in or went out on the computer. They used to be really good but new owners made it go downhill. Then Online Armor was really nice but they made changes too and sold program. I won that program and ran a version for year as the Pro version because it had a bug. Bug was it did not change to the free version after year was up. I later got another free version of the program but after year ran out with new owner Emsisoft Anti-Malware + Firewall was the newer software and XP could not run it.
I hate to lose a great program. But XP Pro my time will come so things will end for this computer.

Updated my desktop which have a SSD and 2 1TB HDD and I didn't encounter a single issue. It might have to do with the fact that all these disks are already GPT, and not MBR.That would be my best bet on the issue too..
Two anonymous researchers, who identified themselves as “my123” and “Slipstream”, recently exposed a serious design flaw in Windows’ Secure Boot that allows people to open locked devices with a golden key. The researchers claim their published findings prove encryption backdoors can be exploited, and that the golden key demands by governments and investigators endangers the security of all users.
Microsoft lists the following Windows versions as affected: Windows 8.1 (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows RT 8.1, Windows 10 and Windows 10 build 1511 (both 32-bit and 64-bit), and Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 Server Core Installation.
