Firewall Events

My Firewall asked me to allow access on four occasions that I denied. Any ideas as to what the reason for those requests are? Malware? Viruses? Do I need to do anything?

Winword.exe; Taskhost.exe;

Can you read the attached Snipping picture by clicking on it?

Or Is there a better way?

Thanks for your feedback. Actually I now found out it opens with Internet Explorer on my PC, probably not with Firefox don't know.

Asparanoix

These are files of Windows (taskhost) and MS Word (winword). I guess you do have MS Word, right? There is no need to block them.

Thanks for your reply. Yes I have MS Office with Word. I have heard of legitimate files being imitated but in a different location that could be bad. Good to know it's not the case here.
