Today I noticed that my cable modem is allowing traffic coming from or to my PC without having programs running which would attemp to connect to the internet.

I checked in my ZoneAlarm archive and noticed that the "Spooler Subsystem App" tryied to connect to the internet 48 times today only, and it's the first day whatsoever that this program try to connect to the internet.

A little search on yahoo lead me to think that the "Spooler Subsystem App" is commonly used by Windows when printers try to access a network or a wireless network. The main problem is that I don't have any printers installed or even pluged on this computer, and I have no networks installed either.

I ran my usual anti-spyware and malware programs along with my anti-virus but none of them found something revelant.


Any help on the matter will be really helpfull. I don't really know how to search deeper than what I already do right now.
