I suggest you try www.grc.com ( grc in case your news app underlines it
as a web link and is difficult to read) and use the "Shields Up!" test.
(There are various views about the GRC site and the man behind it, which
range from positive - it helps users, to negative, spouting rubbish just
to promote security consulting and make money from scaring people). I'm
not going to debate the pros and cons about man/site, but have found the
"Shields Up!" test a handy check to see which ports are open - you might
find that the reason for you getting this message is because of uPNP (or
whatever it is called - I don't use it, and don't worry as a result).
By the way, does SystemWorks 2007 incude a firewall ?
NB Norton Internet Security has a firewall, though I would no longer use
any of the recent Norton products: the SystemWorks Pro 2001/02/03 CDs on
eBay were quite cheap some time ago, and the s/w was easier to uninstall
(whereas later versions got to be worse and worse if one needed to get
the software off / didn't wish to renew licences etc).
