Advice Request Kaspersky Firewall and ICMP Echo Test

[raytechknowledge]

Hi,

I used GRC ShieldsUp to test my ports and it failed with the following error - "A PING REPLY (ICMP Echo) WAS RECEIVED". Is this something very serious? Can someone please guide me what to configure in Kaspersky Total Security Firewall to resolve this? I have the default configuration for firewall.

Regards,
Ray

You can disable ping requests in your router.

I'm against blocking ICMP however on consumer grade products there should be an option under the firewall/security tab, if you have the specific model of your router you can look it up on the user guide.
