I have a few questions: A window pops up in the bottom right corner asking if certain programs can use the internet. Some are related to the DSL software and Kazaa which I said yes to, but what are these for? svchost.exe iexplore.exe explore.exe I am running XP Pro if it matters. Thanks.

I'd be wary about "explore.exe". Matthew 2000 Nissan Maxima SE Sold: 98.5 Contour SE V6 ATX
