This file wants to access the internet... should I let
it? Why does it want to? Am I correct in stating that
svchost.exe and alg.exe need to have access to the
internet? Thanks for any help.

ps. is there a good site that lists the processes that
should be running and what they do?

Cheers!
 
Dave,

All three are valid windows processes, so you should not
such them. alg.exe and svchost.exe for sure need access
to the Internet, im not 100% sure on Ntoskrnl.exe,
however if it's a valid Windows Process then more then
likely it's fine to allow it to access the Internet.

As for your other question, below is a link, toward the
middle page is a list of valid processes. The page is
split into three sections.

Hope this helps
