Error about Generic Host Process
« on: January 06, 2007, 05:16:10 PM »
So, my computer gets this error about every hour or so(been half a year now I think) while I'm online. It says:

"Generic Host Process for Win32 Serviced had encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

...and after I do/don't send error report, it won't let me do anything online (browse the web, chat, etc.). It says I'm still online and I can't disconnect, and in order to disconnect and have my internet work again I have to restart my computer. I also wasn't sure if I should post this under Internet Explorer help  since it has to do with my internet, but it also effects my compter, so sorry if it's at the wrong place.

I'm don't know a whole lot about computers, especially finding out my OS and crap, but from looking at everyone else's I'm assuming this is the info (let you know I'm just listing randoms, sorry if theres too much info or not enough/helpful info :P):
Intel Pro 10/100 LAN, 340 intel celeron D processor 340, 80GB 7200 RPM Hard Drive, DVD+/-RW 16x double layer multiformat DVDRW, 512 MB DDR SDRAM, 2.93 GHz, 256K L2 cache, 533 MHz FSB, media reader 8 in 1, 5 USB ports, 56k ITU v.92 somethingsomething...

Could be caused by malware - run scans.

Could be corrupt system files run sfc /scannow at the command prompt.

Good luck
