Whats this ?

[Cranfield]

My friend (honest) gets a mesage when he starts his computer that "IGFXTRAY.EXE" is trying to connect to the Internet, his Firewall recommends he does not permit this connection.

 

I did a Search and found two files with this reference which were the same, except one had "reinstate" added to the end.

Both files are from the Intel Company.

I assume this is something to do with his processor, which is Intel.

 

Should he configure to permit pemanent access, or should he delete the files ?

Any ideas please ?

dont appear to be anything serious just good old intel for you, run ad aware and a up to date virus scanner just for safe measures

Thanks rickster, can he delete theses files, without causing any harm ?

He is getting peeed off with the message coming up at every start up.

I only know about Zone Alarm, but I would have thought it would be easy to set up the firewall so that it doesn't display the message each time.

With ZA, you set up a tick (to allow), a question mark (to ask each time) or a cross (no access).

no you will need this to start up, what firewall is being used on this pc?. if its sygate nortons or even macfee its very easy to configure not to allow access to the net
