Hi,

IE, your email program, Network Discovery, Core Networking, Remote Assistance and others. Windows Live if you

have it, Java, Windows Sidebar.If you do not know whether a program should be allowed you can uncheck it in

Control Panel - Security - Allow a program through Windows Firewall and/or ask in a message here. Also make

sure you have on that page Notify Me When Windows Firewall Blocks a Program checked.

This tool can help you see what is accessing the internet.

NetWorx – Free - Bandwidth Monitoring and Usage Reporting
