All of these are legitimate services. I don't understand why the firewall is asking you about them. While they are all legitimate, they all also can be associated with various Trojans. I think you should run a check with SuperAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes while you are waiting on someone that may have more experience with PC tool firewall to help you.
