Yes, what I was saying was that obviously MSIMN turns out to be outlook
express but I still cant figure out what to do about the pop ups. It seems
they are coming in through Port 135 and I cant find any rule I ever created
whereby communications through port 135 are permitted. Plus Microsoft seems
to think that if I ever want to be communicated with by themselves or by
antivirus updates with urgent messages, I have to keep this port open?
Anyway I cant find a way of preventing the pop ups from coming in through
Port 135 if there isn't a rule for it in SETTINGS and I never created one?
