Windows 7: UPnP networking flaw puts millions of PCs at risk

I'm secure. Thanks for posting.

I did click it, took router test and posted the result.
So I don't understand

My bad, sorry, I misread it as "That's for the...".

Thou should not confuse the easily confused !

Everyone, the test Jim posted does not require Java, it was the downloadable scanner in my post that wanted Java to run. The online test runs without Java. A Guy

Thanks Jim,

I was lazy and only posted what I could remember (UPnP Device Host & Server Services). I've used Gibbson's small and fast utilities for a very long time, but wasn't sure if Windows 7 was supported - looks as though it should be ok to run (Jim & Steve's posts). It's been a long time since I've delved deeper into the explanations on GRC.com, since I used and trusted his stuff for over a decade.

Your post will help everyone understand "more better". There are a lot of services Windows defaults to automatic that are only used in specific environments. Black Viper has a list for Vista configurations and a reg file (min, avg, and default). Again, I'm being lazy here - I haven't checked for a Windows 7 version, although, the Vista versions would certainly cut down on a lot of unnecessary service loads (even if they do just start, check if needed, and stop)

Ok, I felt guilty, so I just checked Black Vipers site and found Windows 7 information (and Win8).
