Calendar of Updates

Thanks Wingman. Yea was shocked to see how that happen and the waiting to get screen shots etc was when I got to see I needed to wait to install without added junk.

Edit typo: It is without added junk

CutePDF Writer File Version 3.1.0.3

From http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp

Changed from Ask toolbar to Teoma as Search and Homepage.

http://content.teoma.com/static/tm/documents/legal/en/eula.html

Here is the ODD Part.

You see things unchecked as in the image here but it gray things out on you so the unchecked boxes are your only thing to pick.

If you close out that with X in upper right you then get Speed UP MY PC.
Then if you Decline it closes down the installer.

That was from the Zip file.

I then download each file but all was the same but when I Decline  the Speed up my PC it took me to the installer.

Talk about a dirty way to install.

But all seems okay and CutePDF Writer only is working without the rest it really wanted you to trick you into installing.

EDIT:
Ran Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and it found this.

PUP.Optional.APNToolBar, C:\Documents and Settings\Harry\Local Settings\Temp\is-0PAP4.tmp\Offercast3130_ARS_.exe, , [074f249d5e3cfe38f69f03c504fc50b0],

So Ask is still in control of the trash it tried to install.

I never installed any ISP or Comcast software so better not have P2P.
Or could that be the shared WiFi?

Ok maybe it was home connection on the Ooma to see the internal settings that was why I seen more.

The use simple file sharing I unchecked. But other wise I do not have any sharing program or chat programs because I do not trust them.

I can see from the router page the Mac address for the Ooma and I can look at the Ooma setup page for more info.
http://support.ooma.com/home/accessing-your-device-settings.
Had page I seen the other day from Ooma that let me see the phone and setting I seen only that one time and now I can not fine it. Be something like the router setup page. Maybe I need to try again because it may be down now at night. This is not working http://setup.ooma.com

So will look again later.

I got the xfinity TC8305C Technicolor Modem/Router

Under Firewall setting I am at the Minimum Security (Low) setting.

        VPN(GRE, UDP 500, TCP 1723)
        iTunes (TCP port 3689)

    Disable entire firewall

If I go to a higher setting it kills my phone. Got an Ooma Hub phone that workings over the internet.

 Maximum Security (High)
I call a number and they are all busy after long wait.
Incoming calls the phone will not ring but I can leave a message at Ooma for myself.
Ooma shows that I have a message. May of gone to message because it thinks I am online with the phone because it is not getting online right.

Typical Security (Medium)
Same trouble

Custom Security if used
 Block Peer-to-peer applications --- This seems to be what blocks the phone if checked.
What happen to the "IDS enabled" that was blocked under lower setting? What is IDS

So what is all safe to check under Custom?

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.

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.

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)."

Not sure if that answers your question though.

Found this but nothing is checked to show I get pinged so don't know what is going on.

I would say both is best.

Test out what happens both ways and together at ShieldsUP!
