You may disable the software’s Malware reporting functionality by following the instructions found at http://www.support.microsoft.com/?kbid=890830.
· Network Connectivity Status Icon. This feature determines whether a system is connected to a network by either passive monitoring of network traffic or active DNS or HTTP queries. The query only transfers standard TCP/IP or DNS information for routing purposes. You can switch off the active query feature through a registry setting.
· Windows Time Service. This service synchronizes with time.windows.com once a week to provide your computer with the correct time. You can turn this feature off or choose your preferred time source within the Date and Time Control Panel applet. The connection uses standard NTP protocol.
· Internet gateway devices transition to IPv6. IPv6 is a next generation Internet protocol. It helps enable end-to-end connectivity often needed by peer-to-peer applications To do so, each time you start up the software the Teredo client service will attempt to locate a public Teredo Internet service. It does so by sending a query over the Internet. This query only transfers standard Domain Name Service information to determine if your computer is connected to the Internet and can locate a public Teredo service. If you
o use an application (e.g. Windows Meeting Space) that needs IPv6 connectivity or
o configure your firewall to always enable IPv6 connectivity
by default standard Internet Protocol information will be sent to the Teredo service at Microsoft at regular intervals. No other information is sent to Microsoft. You can change this default to use non-Microsoft servers. You can also switch off this feature using a command line utility named “netsh”.
·

the Teredo client service will attempt to locate a public Teredo
Internet service. It does so by sending a query over the Internet. This query only transfers standard Domain
Name Service information to determine if your computer is connected to the
Internet and can locate a public Teredo service. If you
· use an application (e.g. Windows
Meeting Space) that needs IPv6 connectivity or
· configure your firewall to always
enable IPv6 connectivity
by default standard
Internet Protocol information will be sent to the Teredo service at Microsoft
at regular intervals. No other
information is sent to Microsoft. You

command line utility named “netsh”.
