I see a lot of unicast UPnP traffic on my networks. UPnP seems like a train wreck waiting to happen, to me.
Yep. Giving insecure PC's the power to change firewall settings. Doesn't sound like the cleverest idea. I have a firewall, my computer can't be a zombie. Yes, I click on every attachment I see and install every program any random web site offers me, but I have a firewall so my computer can't be a zombie :-( But it does demostrate that people really, really want to run their applications no matter how we try to stop them. Instead of blocking people from running their applications, can we figure out better ways for them to run them safely?
