Hello.
I've been using XP for about a month now. There's one thing I'd like to know...again. Whenever I boot up XP the Norton Internet Security alarms that "svchost is trying to access the internet" which I always let it not. My internet connection is CATV and I don't run any file server or something. I've looked MS online support and found something about svchost.exe but it doesn't have the answer of my question.
Could anybody tell me whether I should let it access or not?
Any advices appriciated.
Thanks.

Hello!
Well what exactly is SVCHOST.EXE? At average I have about 4 instances of svchost running on my system... 2 are run by the system and 2 within my username... I feel strange about it...
Thanks,
