Hi to you all!
 
I'm running the test-version of Bullguard 5.0 at the moment and must admit, that everything works fine except the firewall.
 
I made different port-scans via “Shields up” and always got the information, that port 135 is openmad  
 
I tried different firewall-settings, the problem disappears after a while, but after rebooting WIN XP, port 135 is open again shocked
 
Has anyone of you had such a problem and solved it?
 
Many thanks in advance for any help on this matter.
 
Cheers

Hi
It should not be open: http://grc.com/port_135.htm

Hello Old Spice,


I have run the same test at grc.com and have passed it successfully with BullGuard only activated as a firewall.


Please open BullGuard [double click its tray icon and choose "Open"], click the orange "Firewall" section, change your User Level to "Advanced" then under the "Profiles" tab double click the "Custom Security" to enter its settings, and under the latest tab called "Security", place a checkmark next to the following items:

Detect port scans
Stealth browsing
Block Universal Plug n Play UPnP traffic
Netbios protection
Ignore unsolicited DNS
Ignore unsolicited DHCP
Ignore unsolicited WINS

then click OK, then Activate to enable these custom settings.
Have you passed the test now?

----> One more thing: during the grc.com test, your BullGuard firewall will ask you if you would like to allow net access to the services that are using the tested ports. In order to pass the test, please press NO so that the firewall can block them. If you allow them, the firewall WILL allow the data to pass, and the test will fail.

Also, BullGuard remembers the custom settings that you setup when you click the Activate button. You may have forgotten to click Activate, so your settings were never saved before after restart.
If this procedure does not manage to save your settings, please make sure that your BullGuard product is updated.


Best regards,
