Firewall Port Exceptions

[Ailios]

Late this morning I installed a patch from this website to fix the Mediahub.exe problem I was having when I closed a module of the Roxio Creater Plus Dell Edition on my Windows XP SP2 computer. During installation it prompted me to uninstall the version I had before installign the version it wanted me to have. At the end after the reboot, no more problem.

 

After the lunch hour my Windows Defender came up with four "Firewall Port Exceptions" for me to permit or deny that appear to be related to Firefox browser. But nothing about Firefox had changed. The only change was the installation of this Roxio patch. A Google search didn't turn up anything helpful.

 

I'm hoping someone here as seen these before and can tell me if they are related to what I did with Roxio earlier today and whether they are safe to permit. They are all just like what I'm posting below with the differences being the ports - 2050:UPD, 2051:UDP, 2279:UDP, and 2278:UDP
