thanks
Thanks for your help,no i am not using any other external firewall ,actually my brother installed some music softwares which caused some of the programs to be opened by the firewall and allowed its incoming but i have removed checks from there.
Should i also remove checks from Remote Desktop,Remote Assistance, File and Print Sharing in windows firewall settings? |
