hello
Basically if you do not have a printer shared to your local netword, just go to your network card and unckecl netbios.

you can disable netbios in the "Services" tab, in the OS itself.

its called " tcp/ip netbios helper "

you use linux right? or have?

you may find "kali linux" interesting (was called backtrack 5), used it in the past, currently it may have changed what linux distro it is based on, as i havent messed with in quite a few years.

hello

i had it on vm and played a bit with it last year while wanted to choose between w10+ or linux.
Aye backtrack is a special distrop of linux more oriented security check and system pen testing.You akso have kali ( never checked this one, just remember it name )
Both are a bit useless nowaday, you have metasploit to play with on windows ...

hello
it was a widely used attack vector; no clue it it's still the case nowaday, but if you do not need it, better uncheck it under your network card.

And how I know if it need for me or not? I dont know every service running on my PC and what overlap/use what. :P

hello
Use serviwin from wscc or service.msc to see which services are running.The fewer services that run, the fewer possible attack vectors you'll have on your machine, especially service you do not need like lmhost ( netbios tcpip helper ) or system informer, you have many tools at your disposal for that.

[MonkehMaster]

ya, i usually go through and set services not needed, to "stopped" and dont start unless i manually start them.

and others simply disabled, that arent needed.

Yeah Once I did that and disabled functions what seemed useless for me. However it was dependancy of other service so I ended up not working some function on my PC. Since that I very rarely tinkering with services. But I might play it again.

Edit: Also as my OS set to my language it is nightmare to search services name as on internet everything described in english, even with translator sometimes hard to find what is what. :)

Thanks for helps. You both provided me useful info so far.

nice, glad you got that sorted, i know it would frustrate me having an issue like that.

also to note, aint it funny how issues can be a simple thing and not even notice it?
