: Attempting connection to your computer. . .
: Shields UP! is now attempting to contact the Hidden Internet Server within your PC. It is likely that no one has told you that your own personal computer may
: now be functioning as an Internet Server with neither your knowledge nor your permission. And that it may be serving up all or many of your personal files for
: reading, writing, modification and even deletion by anyone, anywhere, on the Internet!
: Please Note: On highly secure systems this may take up to one minute. . .

: Preliminary Internet connection refused!
: This is extremely favorable for your system's overall Windows File and Printer Sharing security. Most Windows systems, with the Network Neighborhood
: installed, hold the NetBIOS port 139 wide open to solicit connections from all passing traffic. Either this system has closed this usually-open port, or some
: equipment or software such as a "firewall" is preventing external connection and has firmly closed the dangerous port 139 to all passersby. (Congratulations!)

:
: Unable to connect with NetBIOS to your computer.
: All attempts to get any information from your computer have FAILED. (This is very uncommon for a Windows networking-based PC.) Relative to vulnerabilities
: from Windows networking, this computer appears to be VERY SECURE since it is NOT exposing ANY of its internal NetBIOS networking protocol over the
: Internet.
