   Even though the description in the firewall window said "Microsoft",   
   I just ain't the trusting type, that's why I chose the NO Button.   
      
   If I check a IP Address and learn it is for a reliable web site, I write   
   it on a list so the next time the firewall asks about that address I know   
   that I can click the YES button and allow the connection.   
      
   Even though I don't 'think' I have any MS Azure software on this XP box,   
   the next time either of those two IP Addresses that I've already checked,   
   ask for access to the internet I will click the YES button so MS will   
   get whatever report my pc wants to send to them.   
      
   I have some other IP Addresses on my list already to let me know they are   
   safe for me to send a report to Microsoft.   
      
   I began using the internet in 1996.   
   But because I have read BBS Messages (since 1984) about tricks some people   
   do over the internet I got paranoid, and I try to be "very very" careful.   
      
   After I turn a MS Windows pc ON I usually don't use it until after I've   
   updated the Definitions for the 'Watchdog' programs I use on my pc,   
   i.e.: AntiVirus, Malwarebytes, SuperAntiSpyware, Spybot S&D and Winpatrol.   
      
   I don't have to do that when I turn the Power Switch on the C=64 ON.....   
      
   It doesn't take that much time for the Windows pc to do the updates,   
   and I feel better after I've done the updates, that maybe the 'baddies'   
   won't get access to my computer (this time).

   I try not to be stupid, just careful.   
      
   Thanks for the Reply!
