What does this mean? I need help!

I keep getting the following message that started yesterday. It's a window
that pops up every minute or so:

"C:\WINNT\system32\spoolsv.exe is attempting to change or view this
computer's Internet Connection Protection settings. To give
C:\WINNT\system32\spoolsv.exe permission to edit these settings for as long
as the program is open, click yes."

I've clicked yes and no and checked the "do not show this message again" box
and it keeps coming back, over and over. But, when I click the "more info"
button, I get nothing. What is this and what can I do to get rid of it?
 
Depending on where it comes from, the spoolsv.exe file can be the Microsoft
print and fax spooler service, or it can be part of several viruses. Since
the message is asking about your "Internet Connection Protection" settings,
your first step is to check for viruses with an updated, properly configured
virus scanner.
