As said it still showed the vulnerability.
I allowed spybot to fix it. I checked to make sure i am still on the network and I am. I cannot find where you ask Windows Firewall to ask you for that specific file if i find I need to run any online scans so please tell me where this is besides IE Explorer is no longer in the list of exceptions so now what?
I have another xp pro computer on the network but it is in use right now and i cannot run the scan on it as of yet. Before i do I would like to understand how to configure the Windows Firewall to ask again for IE and not authorize permanently.
Also if one is NOT on a network and only running Windows Firewall I am safely to assume you can allow spybot to fix? and if on a network I am also safely to assume this should not effect the network if I allow it to fix too? correct?
thanks
