I use the firewall that came with my xp windows and for
around the last two months I have noticed a strange or
unusual Service appearing in the Firewalls advnaced
settings Where the various POP, Imap and Http listed
services appear. One of these is called "Teledo" and one
another one that I am certain was not originally there
previously. When I find them in this list and already
check or selcted I uncheck them and actually delete them,
which has no effect at all on my internet browsing or
email. I am concerned that these may be programs or
something that I did not authorise or load into my system,
once more each time I restart my system or reboot they
appear there again, so I now have formed this ritual on
each occassion before I dial into the net of going into
the firewall settings under advanced and deleting either
one or the other or both if they are there. Are these
normal settings or Services as I dont beleive they have
always been there, and is there any way to get rid of
these or prevent them from repeatedly checking themselves.
I use a stand alone system, on a dial up account and I
dont share files or do anything risky that I am aware of
while online, all the same this does concern me.
