Thank you, Sadie,"making all applications run as client not server" is more
safe than making them as both client and server? Why is that?
Do you mean UDP? A few days ago my firewall asked me if Internet Explorer
could act as a server. I don't understand why IE can act as a server. And my
firewall always shows that TWO Generic Host Processes for win32 services are
runing. What is that for?
