as REQUESTED , THE ABOVE APPEARS WHEN I CLICK ON '' SHOW OR REMOVE BLOCKED STARTUP PROGRAMS "

WireShare installer has the 'Open at System Startup' option unchecked, unlike the original LW. So you must have checked the option when you installed it.

I still suspect your firewall issue is due to your router.

Yes , that appears to have confused my security system .

There is obviously a fierce fiery debate over bigpond throttling p2p music sharing applications ;
but anyway , i am also having exactly the same problems with wireshare as stated in message one of this thread .

No worse actually , ; web browsing is very slow and even when wireshare is totally closed down , web browsing becomes very very very slow .
A reboot fixes the problem immediately .
