Sygate Personal Firewall Pro keeps popping up telling me NTOSKRNL.EXE is trying to access the network...I'm wondering WHY it would need to.

No viruses, no spyware, nothing...

I just disallowed it access completely, and so far I don't see any reason why it'd need to access. I've shut off just about every unneeded service...

No, I even uninstalled file sharing from my network connection during XP setup, and Sygate was configured to not allow it, either.

EDIT: Sygate blocks it from accessing, but I was just curious as to why it would even try. Thanks guys.

I had a similar problem with PANDA AntiVirus' Firewall.
I was getting Connection attemps every few seconds,
only to find out that Desktop Webshots was polling for an
Internet Connection so as to update it.
