I quote:
"I highlighted QoS Packet
scheduler as you instructed and hit uninstall. Window
came up that said "You must disconnect all dial-up, VPN,
and Incoming connections before this component can be
removed". This time I left the window open and I just
disconnected ATT, Bingo the QoS window stayed open and I
was able to uninstall the component."
SH: The ATT dial-up windows has two little blocks called
Connect and Disconnect
You Disconnect with a mouse click, not unplugging the telephone wire.
Then in that same window in the lower right corner resides Properties.
Clicking on Properties gets you to the General screen and QoS etc.
This is not a suggestion to "... which suggested physically removing
(unplugging)
the connection to the ISP to enable removing QoS."
It is accomplished by mouse clicks; but because mouse clicks are ultimately
atomic changes, this does not qualify as physical removal or unplugging.
This abuse of terminology is a far greater discrepancy than picking upon the
omission to mention that ports that allow messenger service can be exploited
even if you turn off messenger service to eliminate messenger service
advertisements.
What you stated was bluntly wrong, and striker just decided not to go into
detail.
Win xp SP2 comes with messenger service disabled and Windows Firewall
automatically installed which disables the questioned ports unless the user
intervenes and allows the ports. That is a choice, not automatically a bad
decision.
Whereas using some method other than mouse clicks such as physical removal
of internal modem or unplugging the telephone to disconnect from the
internet is a
bad decision.
Penny wise and Pound foolish,
Stephen
