What is WFXMSRVR.MFC?

[Physhnpham]

ZoneAlarm tells me that wfxmsrvr.mfc wants to access the internet, should I let it? I don't know what it is, let alone if I should let it! Seems to be a fax service of some sort, but even so, I don't know why it wants to access the Internet when I haven't called for it. Clarification and suggestion welcome.

The .mfc stands for Microsoft Foundation Class
Other than that, it's anyones guess, it's not on my machine... Cheers,

It has something to do with MS Office and MS Outlook I think. I'm not really sure what it is but from the looks of the "dos name"(wfxmsrvr.mfc) it is probably something like "windows fax (message or manager) server". Personally I don't like any of my software to roam free on the internet even if it does update at will. I like to start it and run the update manually. But that is just a personal preferece. So my answer would be no, don't let it access the internet. But as I said, it's a personal thing with me. Hope this helps ya a little Every day above ground is a GOOD DAY!!!

MS Fax Manager, and it's a little less than completely reliable IMO. I would go to

http://www.microsoft.com

and look for the update and ugrade it manually - so you know what was done )
