Question
Generic Host Process for Win32 Services

What is Generic Host Process for Win32 Services and how do I get rid of the message that seems to pop up when I go online. I am a new user to computers and really don't know how to handle this. Please someone help me.

Checkout these threads. By the way, does your pc reboot on its own after you see that?

1) Do you use Zone Alarm?

2) Do you have antivirus software on this pc?

3) Look in your event logs to see if there are any warnings or errors. To do that goto the Control Panel, select Administrative Tools, Goto the Event Viewer. Look through each log and post the Event ID and the warning or error message here.

4) When this happens again, press Ctrl+Alt+Del and choose task manager. Click the applications tab. You should see a list of apps you have running. Try killing Internet Explorer instead of shuting down your pc.

I have also the same problem and I'm going crazy. When I read the log file in the adminsitrative tools it says the following message related with the error:
"The time service is now synchronizing the system time with the time source time.nist.gov (ntp.m|0x1|195.174.164.148:123->192.43.244.18:123)."
I have the latest version of norton antivirus with up- to- date virus definitions. I have scanned my drives but norton could not find any infected file and I'm sure that my computer doesn't contain msblast virus. Could you please help me.

Probably the msblast worm.
If it doesn't completely crash the computer, the service only fails - and disables much of the windows functionality.

You should probably try and run some msblast cleaning utility, or do a housecall (http://housecall.trendmicro.com).

Hey me too. i don't have a printer connected to my computer. but then when the message pop out, i can't disconnect from the internet and i also can't access the internet. and have also scan my com for virus using "housecall" but, theres nothing detected. i have use system restore and the problem seems to end. but, i'm afraid that the message will pop out again. is there anyway to fix it?
