Microsoft.Windows.IEFirewallBypass

[renegademegd]

New updates today installed, ran SB, it foud two counts of the below

Microsoft.Windows.IEFirewallBypass: Settings (Registry value, nothing done)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\AuthorizedApplications\List\C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE

should I be worried? should I remove them?

Hi renegademegd

That means that Internet Explorer is allowed to access internet via windows firewall.

So I think there's nothing to worry about :)

Oh right Thanks!

I should probably restore it then! (I re-ran Spybot, it identified the two reg strings then i clicked fix problems)

Having removed them however, I can still connect my IE to the internet no problem!

But I guess if it is no threat it's ok to restore.

I did notice on the latest release notes it does flag up the IE.firewellbypass as an actual security problem.
