Default Firewall & EXE files

Sorry if this isn't the right spot to ask this question. If I'm not please
point me in the right direction.
I have a firewall in place. This week when initializing my computer I have
been getting firewall warnings that certain files are requesting internet
access. The info isn't specific but says they could be a Trojan. First
warning was for "RUNDLL32.EXE", yesterday "MSLAGENT.EXE", this morning
"INETDL_2.EXE". Obviously something is going on. Virus protection is updated
at least twice a week. Thanks for your comments.
