How can I get rid of it?
« on: August 14, 2006, 06:51:12 AM »
Hello to all fellow forum members,

I have encountered this pop-up message, "Generic host Process for Win 32 Service has encountered a problem and need to close down.....", whenever I am online. It usually appears after maybe 10/20 mins whenever i am online.

After I closed the pop-up window, everything except the Internet connection is fine-I was disconnected eventhough the connection icon is still indicating that the Internet connection is on. I tried to bring out the connecion window in order to reconnect, and it didn't work.

Anyone out there can give me some advices, and your help will be fully appreciated, thanks

Steven

Did this just start or it has been going on for a while?

What spyware/virus protection are you using?

What Windows? What service pack? All Microsoft updates loaded?

Here's a good read:

Hi GXi_Man,

Thanks for your reply.

This problem just started about 3 days ago.
I am using ad-aware 6 and spybot-search and destroy. Besides that I have downloaded a program(FixBlast) to fix the so-called W32.Blaster.Worm virus, which have been known for causing this problem, unfortunately it didn't work.

I am using the Window xp professional.

Service pack???

I believe i don't all the MS updated loaded.

Thanks and looking forward to your advice.

Steven

You should have Service Pack 2 and all updates applied, at the least.

Look in Control Panel/System and see what it says right below your version of Windows.

Use Microsoft Update.

The key to this is using your prevention/removal tools in Safe Mode with System Restore turned off. Otherwise you can just reinfect yourself.

Hi GXi_Man,

Control Panel/System says -
Microsoft Windows XP
Professional
Version 2002
Service Pack 2

"Use Ms Update" means I have to download them from MS homepage?

"The key to this is using your prevention/removal tools in Safe Mode with System Restore turned off. Otherwise you can just reinfect yourself." - This part I am not quite sure that i am fully understood.

Could you pls list out the step(s) of doing it :) How do I get into the Safe Mode and how to turn off the System Restore..

Thanks again

Steven

P.S At the time of this writing, the mentioned message was pop-up again and i was disconnect from the Internet after I clicked on the "Don't Send" button.

Under the Start Window should be Windows Update. Click on that and follow along.

Safe Mode can be entered by pressing F8 a few times when the machine starts BEFORE the Windows logo.

Here is some info on System Restore:

Is that a real Windows CD by the way?

Hi GXi_Man,

Thanks for your info.

What do you meant by "Is that a real Windows CD by the way?"? and does it mean something in solving this problem?

Thanks,
Steven

Hi GXi_Man,

I have been encountered this problem almost 3 days from now. It seems like it appeared form nowhere. As far as I could recall, I didn't download anything suspicious from the Internet, and everything was fine before this error message started to pop up.

In addition, I have scanned my pc with antivirus and spyware programs i could get my hands on, like Norton, avg, ad-aware, spybot-search and destroy in safe mode. I also downloaded updates from Microsoft.

For your reference, this is the info i got from the error message pop-up

Did I help you in the CH Chat with this problem?

If so, I can provide the links I gave you earlier for the Microsoft help search?

Hi all,



This problem "Generic Host Process for Win32 Services has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

C:.DOCUME~1\BeenLee\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERF345.dif00\appcompat.txt

Is happened whenever I am browsing the Internet. It doesn't matter whether I am using Firefox or IE. When this error messager window pop-up, my connection to the Internet will be closed soon, eventhough the connection icon is still indicating that the connection is on. I try to click on the computer icon (connection) in order to bring up the connection window, it just flash and disappear.

I scanned my pc with AVG, Norton, spybot, fixSasser, ewido, free sasser removal too and fixblaster program(s) and no virus is found. I also downloaded some windows updates.

Is this problem of my system or network connection-svchost.exe.mdmp, appcompat.txt?

Can anyone intrepret the log files i posted in the previous reply and spot some unusual activities?

I don't think we chat before, anyway can you give the link as you mentioned and I will try it to see if it works.

Any idea what's happened?

Thanks,
