I just noticed something. Looking through the program access in both
firewalls I see a
program called "generic host process for win 32 services" and it's wanting
server rights, or access or whatever you want to call it. I don't know what
this is, or what is keeping my ports open when they should be stealth. Does
anyone know what this is?
