Im a noobie just starting research on security and encyrption, both have interested me for awhile, and now just got a break in work to where I can start to "do my homework" on the two subjects. Im testing 3 firewalls to see which I like the best, ZA pro, sygate, and nortons 2002, testing and seeing which suits my needs just starting out. The question I have is on a few programs from win xp that want to gain access. Application Layer gateway: NT Kernal and system: lsa shell export service: and explorer exe also generic host process. I have allowed and blocked all of those programs and it doesnt seem to matter either way to any programs they all work fine. The question I have is any or all of them spyware for MS and I should def block or those are just the XP proggys for checking for upgrades etc. any help is appr8ted.
