Thanks for that Simon. I don't use the Windows firewall, so the advice on how to fix it does not apply to my case, but I momentarily turned off my ESET internet security firewall and refreshed MinimWatch and bingo! - Minimwatch turned green and returned to full functionality.

The firewall is back on now though, and MinimWatch has turned grey again, but at least I now have my culprit. I'm not sure whether the advanced setup of the ESET firewall has any similarities to the Windows setup, but TCP and UDP port scanning are mentioned as shown on the attachment. I can't see anything obvious, but I will see if I can find any clues in the ESET program.

Simon - the ESET troubleshooting wizard took me straight to the problem. Java had recently been blocked by ESET but I had the option to unblock as shown on the attachment. All is now well again and thanks again.
