Even though the description in the firewall window said "Microsoft",
I just ain't the trusting type, that's why I chose the NO Button.
If I check a IP Address and learn it is for a reliable web site, I write
it on a list so the next time the firewall asks about that address I know
that I can click the YES button and allow the connection.
Even though I don't 'think' I have any MS Azure software on this XP box,
the next time either of those two IP Addresses that I've already checked,
ask for access to the internet I will click the YES button so MS will
get whatever report my pc wants to send to them.
I have some other IP Addresses on my list already to let me know they are
safe for me to send a report to Microsoft.
I began using the internet in 1996.
But because I have read BBS Messages (since 1984) about tricks some people
do over the internet I got paranoid, and I try to be "very very" careful.
After I turn a MS Windows pc ON I usually don't use it until after I've
updated the Definitions for the 'Watchdog' programs I use on my pc,
i.e.: AntiVirus, Malwarebytes, SuperAntiSpyware, Spybot S&D and Winpatrol.
I don't have to do that when I turn the Power Switch on the C=64 ON.....
It doesn't take that much time for the Windows pc to do the updates,
and I feel better after I've done the updates, that maybe the 'baddies'
won't get access to my computer (this time).

I try not to be stupid, just careful.
Thanks for the Reply!
