Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0: x86 (KB928416) update

I was just downloading the latest Windows XP update which was Microsoft .NET
Framework 3.0: x86 (KB928416) and also the Root Certificates Update when my
antivirus asked me if I would allow Print Filter Pipeline Host to enter the
Internet. The installation of the NET Framework 3.0 hung until I allowed the
Print Filter Pipeline Host to enter the Internet. Is this something I should
be worried about because I did allow the Print Filter Pipeline Host to do
just that and the installation then proceeded smoothly. Is this a normal
procedure when installing updates? I've never been asked to allow a program
to enter the Internet before with any and all the other updates. Thanks for
any info I can get on this one.

I did exactly the same and got the same message from ZoneAlarm, I shouldn't
worry about it.
