Printer Spooler Service Internet Access

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Since the lastest update, I have my Internet firewall (Norton Sercurity
2005) keep flagging an attempt by the Priner Spooler Service to access
the internet.
It seems to happen once a screen saver has run, and dispite telling the
firewall to either accept or refuse it keeps coming up.

Now I know that this is a XP forum and not a Norton forum, but I'm
thinking that the update must have altered something for it to keep
setting the thing off, especially as when I disable the screensaver,
restart and the problem goes away.

Help please!!


Cheers

Why are you allowing the Print Spooler internet access? Are you on a
network?
