What's this <SYSTEM> requiring internet access

Could somebody put my mind at rest.

I've got a funny requiring internet access. Application Name: ?, App Path: <SYSTEM>.

I've run sysinternals process explorer and its the parent of a bunch of identifiable programmes.

Why is it asking for internet access?

I religiously run lots anti-malware programmes every week so I don't think it's nasty but would be nice to get a confirmation and an explanation.

Thanks

u could try blocking it for the current session only and see what happens but i give it internet access.

 

I logged its connection and it isn't connecting to anything when you hit 'Look'.

Don't think it's a problem but would love to understand why it's bothering to ask for internet access. The logic of wanting access and then not accessing anything is very confusing to me.

This is normally an internal name used only at the driver level, so very strange it was reported to the application. Probably a bug somewhere
