Info: I'm running Windows XP Pro with Tiny Firewall 2005

My firewall occasionally reports that Internet Explorer (iexplore.exe)
starts and accesses MAPMEM service and then subsequently starts instw32.exe.

I was wondering...should I always allow these events (no user input) or does
that create a serious security loophole?

What does a Google search say about MAPMEM and instw32.exe?
