camelia 6 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Hello, I am checking my connections with TCPView by Microsoft Sysinternals If a process is listening then the app is phoning home right? Then why C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\NetService\NvNetworkService.exe continues phoning home if I blocked by firewall? Thanks Came Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,164 Posted June 21, 2018 Administrators Share Posted June 21, 2018 That doesn't mean that any inbound or outbound communication of the process wouldn't be blocked by the firewall. As long as the service is running, it will be in the listening state regardless of whether the firewall blocks the communication or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
