Need computer explanation re: message I keep getting!
I keep getting a warning from my Norton firewall that LEXPPS.EXE is attempting to access my machine. Norton considers it a low threat, but I keep blocking it. What is it, and would it affect any of my online access to sites if I permanently block it?

THX in advance!

1. It's Lexmark Printer software

probably looking for updates. It should be safe to allow. Or disallow if you are not sharing the printer with other PC's in your home network.

lexpps.exe description:
This file is related to Lexmark Printer Port Scanner utility, it is a standard component of the printer drivers, published by Lexmark International company. It is used to share a printer across the local network, allowing remote users to print their documents using local printer.

File lexpps.exe removal: Described file lexpps.exe is not related to the security threats.
However the same or similar file name can be used by spyware or adware programs to decept user. We advice you to scan your computer and eliminate possible threats.
