Thank you very much guys for replying, I searching the net for each file to try and determine wheather its spyware or a legit service for driver upgrade check etc. I know MS phones home and Im trying to figure out where and thru what programs it does so I can block those, I still dont understand why Explorer.Exe needs to access the net. But Im hunting the reason, just havent found it yet. I have lavasoft on my sys but I also have kazza and so I have to leave some spyware on sys to keep kazza up and running correctly. As far as the 4-5 files that Im not sure about Ive blocked and unblocked and everything seems to run fine so Im just going to leave em Blocked for now. Thanks to everyone that posted for the nice welcome and the help that you did provide.

Kudos
