Explanation (?): |
The upload manager service provides troubleshooting through a Windows feature called Online Device Help. When a new device is detected that is not provided on the built-in Windows driver database or through Windows Update the Online Device Help system collects anonymous information pertaining to the device, such as the PNPID, to Microsoft. This is accomplished through this service and is destined for port 80. The information that is retrieved from Microsoft could notify you where to download drivers for your dervice, or tell you when it will be supported. This service can safely be disabled at the loss of this optional functionality, and has been removed in service pack 2 (SP2) of Windows XP. Otherwise this service should be set to automatic. |

"Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship[...] Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country." - Herman Goering: Intelligence office interview at Nuremberg, 1946/4/18
