I have a WinME computer connected to Bigpond cable. I have just
downloaded the Tiny Personal Firewall and have begun to use it. Up
until now, I have not used any firewall but wish to now be more
secure.
Can anybody tell me if there are some standard rules or things that
are "common" that I can safely accept. At present, I am denying
virtually everything until I learn what might be valid
outgoing/incoming.
I understand there is a heartbeat and have the relevant address and
ports for Victoria (from Bigpond) set in the rules.
I seem to be getting a lot of outgoings from my Windows KRNL386.EXE.
Is this safe to let through as I have no idea what this is trying to
do?
