Network inspector "hns-unauthenticated-access" vulnerability

[chris...]

hi,
I've just run the network inspector and it detects an "hns-unauthenticated-access" threat on one of my devices (pc).

The avast advice is very succinct / unclear and I don't understand what I should do with SMB port:445 (see screenshot)

The "read help article" link doesn't point to the article.

Does anyone have any explanations?

Thanks

hi,
so it's OK now
I don't know why, but the default rules of the avast "Windows Networking IN/OUT" firewall, which is supposed to block port 445 (TCP) ... were not taken into account.

I created a rule manually and put it at the very top, and since then the network inspector tells me that my device is secure.

Using avast premium, I find it a shame that when I click on "resolve", avast can't automatically create the rule in its own firewall ... It just gives an unclear information.
