ZA alert

[the staring frogs of Iberia]

Anyone know what Spooler Subsystem App would refer to.ZA keeps telling me it
wants to connect to the Web. It's been blocked 22 times this session. Added
a new printer a couple of weeks ago.

It's fine that you can let it access the internet. I have ZoneAlarm Security
Suite and it does the same thing. I do have 3 spyware softwares (SpyBot,
Spyware Doctor, & Spysweeper) running in the background, None has picked up
any spyware or ZoneAlarm Anti-Virus has not picked up any Viruses. So I would
bet that it would be fine if you let it access the internet. It's from
Microsoft, so it's safe.

Block it.

Unless you're on a network Spooler Subsystem App does *not* need access.

No network. Just a stand alone printer for home use. Is it trying to get
updates?
If so I may allow it. If not there's no need to connect so I'll just block
it. Thanks.

 

[Wesley Vogel]

No. Just one of those things. Block it and forget about it.
