thanks raingirlIT that was it but you would think that it would know that it is part of onecare!
Hi Jan,
As a general principle, it did the right thing, namely that a process wants access and warned you about it - nothing wrong with that. Denying it initially is also the correct response until you found out what it was.
Processes can be mimicked by malware, so double checking is the right response. Also if something is benign, but perhaps not necessary, its nice to see that One Care gives you a choice.
