Wrong! BZZZZ!

You need that firewall.

What you missed was Data Execution Prevention [DEP] and a good firewall like nVidia's that comes with Asus & AMD motherboards. Network Access Manager [NAM], but you'll need to read about DCOM and COM and DEP and probably do a workaround for the Apache interfaces of these motherboard drivers interfaces as well.

With the firewall off, it's for sure you're going to get hit, and probably get hit bad.

The nVidia asks you each time a program tries to get past the firewall, unfortunately the Windows firewall is a minimal piece of junk that is not even integrated with its own security and DEP.

DEP is going to stop your MySQL and PHP and any non-Microsoft software also from either launching or executing. Programs like MySQL aren't even aware of this new computer architecture.

The DEP was designed 30 years ago on mainframes and ported to microprocessor design just these last two years or so and no one in the microprocessor field, including the programmers, knows DEP. DEP stops viruses and attacks before they can start. nVidia is aware because they design hardware and their hardware is based around DEP, AMD is also way ahead of Intel on DEP.

MySQL is not aware of DEP, nor, apparently, are their programmers and management.

Run the firewall and fix the problem, don't try to work without it. And teach your programmers and staff about DEP; someone needs to.
