Hi freebird2003, welcome to the forum :slight_smile:

Of the three services you listed, only svchost.exe should need Internet access, see this post:

should svchost.exe be allowed internet access??

spoolsv.exe is your print spooler and I can’t think of a reason why it should be granted Internet access.

tlntsvr.exe is the Windows Telnet server service. Personally, if you don’t use Telnet, I’d disable the service from the Windows Services control panel. Tenet could pose a security threat.

spoolsv.exe is to be allowed to print over a network, block otherwise.
