66613 2002-07-29 23:54:00 Hi, my firewall has started asking for permission to allow SSDP Service on Windows ME access to the net. I have not seen this before.Can anyone explain what this is and is it OK. Many thanks. Don. Don H (733)

This program only gets installed if you choose to install the "Universal Plug and Play" sub-component of the Communications component in "Add/Remove Programs \ Windows Setup". SSDPSRV provides Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) and General Event Notification Architecture (GENA) services for the Universal Plug and Play functionality and is a component designed for the future generation of Plug and Play devices.

Recommendation :
If you are using standard Plug and Play devices, you do not need this program. You can de-install it by un-selecting "Universal Plug and Play" in "Add/Remove Programs \ Windows Setup tab \ Communications".
