Programs acting as servers

[carl43m]

From time to time my zone alarm security suite alerts me that IE is trying to
act as a server and sometimes it says spooler sub system trying to act as a
server. My security suite does not show me in the logs that there has been
any virus attacks but does anyone know what causes these two programs to
want to act as servers> should I have any concerns?

No. ZA is reacting to outgoing activity that you are initiating. To worry
about it, first you have to assume you have already let a malware presence
IN.
