Spoolsv.exe

[rfdjr1]

I recently upgraded Zone Alarm, and now, when I shut down the computer, I get a
query from Zone Alarm saying that Spooler Subsystem App wants to access the
Internet, and do I want it to. The few times it's happened, I said no and closed
down the system. I Googled Spooler Subsystem and see it has something to do with
printing. I'm getting this without even having printed anything, nor is there
anything in the queue. My question is should I allow access for this? Should I
tell Zone Alarm to ignore it everytime? Why does the print spooler have to
access the Internet? Thanks.

Also, I see there are some variants witrh similar names that are trojans, but
this appears to be the Microsoft application I'm dealing with.

Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help
file. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm

When I went to www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools, I received an html file
which said:

nothing on this site, move on

So, what did I do wrong? I usually use Mozilla.
