Bitdefender Firewall Test On Shields Up...

Did the test on GRC shields up... everything seems with the bitdefender firewall ok but not this : Ping Reply: RECEIVED (FAILED) — Your system REPLIED to our Ping (ICMP Echo) requests, making it visible on the Internet. Most personal firewalls can be configured to block, drop, and ignore such ping requests in order to better hide systems from hackers. This is highly recommended since "Ping" is among the oldest and most common methods used to locate systems prior to further exploitation.


????? ping is almost the oldest method... so how i can block that with my bitdefender firewall... or there is something that i dont understand... some talks about the fact that maybe this test is testing the router...


By the way my firewall on bitdefender is set to aggressive and every thing is right
