Hi malware fighters,
If sniffing my traffic I see packets sent to 239.255.255.250
SSDP Method = M-SEARCH SSDP Uniform Resource Identifier =
' SSDP HTTP Prot Version = HTTP/1.1. SSDP Host = 239.255.255.250:1900 UDP
SSDP Search Target -um: schemas-upnp-org : device : Internet-GatewaysDevice
SSDP Maximam wait = 3
Is this going to iana reserved, protowall from bluetack protects you, and also the blocklist manager from here:
http://www.bluetack.co.uk/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=14Why this excessive traffic for upnp. Is this a leech service with svchost to track people's illegal downloads, or just like MS says because it has no other way to establish the device?
Who knows more, and who has it blocked? We knowl svchost is an essential part of the system & without it your computer won't run? svchost in other places than it should be is malware, but does the normal svchost also "legally" misbehave, that is "spy on ye"?. "What one does not know, does not hurt one, is the policy of to-day!".
