Hi,
Looking at Zone Alarms logs, found the flwg:

19:31:00 Program access svchost.exe - My ISP's DNS2 - incoming - blocked - 1
count
19:31:04 Program access svchost.exe - My ISP's DNS1 - incoming - blocked - 2
counts

Please can someone enlighten me what is svchost and why connects to
internet?
I don't have any Lan or remote connection, just a simple dial-up.

TIA
Chris
