It says to allow access or grant for 1 time or block access- The program says it is lxcytime.exe location in the c:/windows/systemspool/drivers etc etc What is this and why is it on there- can anyone tell me? and if it a bad virus or hijacker or nothing critical? Thanks and I have reported it to Mcafee but they make take a while to email back!

I have a different software at home, but it does the same thing, I do believe it is a deterrent for software to access the Internet.
If you are using the software just OK it, but many applications and virus run behind the scenes so be careful what you allow b/c they may be out surfing the net with your private info, and sharing it.
As well some websites place trackers on your computer that send the info back to them as well.

lxcytime.exe appears to be from youtube.com used by youtubereplay. Firewalls do this to check if you want a program to access the internet. If you start the program and trust it and use it a lot then check "allow always" otherwise see where it came from and what it does. To do this copy filename to internet search box. Most are listed on a number of sites. Hope this helps!

Ditto the above. I have "comodo" firewall. Firewalls go through a "learning" phase, wanting to know what you'll "allow" to happen...comodo wants to know if I'll allow a certain transaction and further asks "Do you want me to remember this decision?" If it looks okay, I always say "Yep, remember." Yours looks as if, like the answerers above said, a system driver is looking for updates for itself, so it should be okay. Microsoft is on auto-update and likes to check for updates whenever you're online...

Mcafee is probably just looking for a scheduled upgrade. It's not a big deal.

Either the poup blocker or mcafee wants to update!
