I am running ZoneAlarms on my PC. With this I could make sure which program has the permit to get to the Internet. For all but one programs I was sure what I'm doing with them (allow - not allow - asking each time etc.)since I know what they are expected to do. Onle 1 thing is anoying, the IPC server MSIPCSV.exe ver 1.01. This resides in Windows\system and everytime I connect to Internet it tries to get on as well. However I blocked it 'cause I don't know what is this app doing on my machine. And I didn't see any thing strange to my apps, connections.. Could anyone give a light on this, do you have the same thing on your machine? what is it doing on the Internet? Thanks for any explanation.
