Firewall exceptions

[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
