@telus.net | Re: Has M$ heard of testing? i am that less tech savvy person. what does that mean to me? and what is ICS and if im running a router (Dlink Di-624) and windows firewall would i be safe? or do you recommend a 3rd party firewall instead? | |

| Re: Has M$ heard of testing? This exploit is a threat when Microsoft's Internet Connection Sharing is enabled. If you're using a router than this vulnerability doesn't affect you.
I would however still recommend a 3rd party firewall. I really don't trust the microsoft one. I prefer one that gives me more control over what is being allowed. The MS firewall is configurable to a point, but not like I would prefer. | |
