    I HAVE UPGRADED FROM WINDOWS 98 SE TO WINDOWS XP PRO SPACK2.
    I HAVE NOTICED WITH XP A NUMBER OF EXE PROGRAMS THAT I DID NOT SEE BEFORE
    UNDER WIN 98.
    THESE APPEAR ON MY FIREWALL PROGRAM ZONEALARM.
    I HAVE CHECKED THESE OUT AND ALTHOUGH ADVICE IS THAT WINDOWS HAVE PROGRAMS
    WITH THESE NAMES, SO DO TROJANS. THEY WARN TO BLOCK/DELETE.
    ARE THESE WINDOWS PROGRAMS OR NOT/?. HOW CAN I TELL?.
    EXAMPLE...mqsvc.exe spoolsv.exe dumprep.exe
    IN THE MEAN TIME I HAVE BLOCKED, BUT DO NOT KNOW IF THEY ARE OR WILL STOP
    WINDOWS FROM OPERATING NORMALLY.
    PLEASE ADVISE ME.
