Services.exe

[compusport]

Can anyone tell me what exactly this program does? The reason I ask is because I installed win2k service pack 4 yesterday and now my Zone Alarm is asking me if I want to allow it to access the internet. (it never has before) Internet explorer won't open without it and i've also been getting strange ActiveX messages as well. I'm pretty sure that installing the service pack is what caused all of this. Could some of my default settings have changed?
