Generic Host Process for Win32 Services encountered a problem

**re10** · 07-03-05, 10:15 AM

Hi,

I keep on getting this error when ever i switch on the computer
"Generic Host Process for Win32 Services encountered a problem and needed to close"

I'm using win XP SP2. Some people are telling me it is related to spywares (probably not)
while others think it is because of SP2 updates. Is it true?

Could somebody please help me and how i can get rid of it

Thanks.

We can eliminate the malware issue, please do the following, I have never seen this related to SP2:

Prior to doing anything XP users MUST disable System Restore!!! You can re enable it after you are clean.

Please download Ad-Aware SE 1.06 and SpyBot Search & Destroy 1.4 then set them up EXACTLY as I have written HERE. This will offer much deeper scanning than the default settings that will find more spyware/malware.

Install and run CWShredder 2.15.

Then do a FREE online virus scan from Kaspersky Webscan.

Also make sure you have ALL of the latest Windows Updates (only install SP2 for XP once you are spyware FREE).

I also HIGHLY recommend you download, update and scan with Spy Sweeper 4.0, there is a FREE 14-day trial and it is an EXCELLENT product.

It it also a good idea to run the Winsock Fix to repair your TCP/IP stack. (you will have to redo any tweaks for your connection if this is used)

If after doing ALL of the above and you are still having problems please scan with HijackThis 1.99.1 as shown HERE and post a log here in this forum for us to look at.

Once you are clean download SpywareBlaster 3.4 and set it up as shown HERE to help stay spyware free.

Not due to service pack 2, I've done hundreds and hundreds of SP2 installs, never had a problem. I'd look into the health of your computer, up to date drivers, other windows updates, making sure it's good and clean from malware by following MNO's tips above.

Also other things, how long has this computer been running on its current install? What software has been put in the computer, more than 1 antivirus program? History of trying various software firewalls? Do you run any of that peer to peer file sharing software? (which almost always guarantees problems with the computer at one point or another)

Hi,

I finally found the answer to the problem! It was in fact really related to updates. Yesterday when i did my windows (xp) update, they putted a fix for the problem related to the previous update..
Damn Microsoft!!!!

Dr Tweak et al --

I've done everything (I think) in your 7/05 post, except the Winsockfix (since I wouldn't know how to repair any tweaks) -- and the darn Generic Host Process for Win32 Services still keeps ruining my day by keeping my soundcard inert --

below is the logfile from hijackthis.log just generated -- any further thoughts?

many thanks

while others think it is because of SP2 updates. Is it true?
Could somebody please help me and how i can get rid of it
Thanks.

Hello re10:
I was having the same problem.....

"Application error/ svchost.exe"
"Generic Host Process for Win32 Services encountered a problem and needed to close"

For two three days I had to shut down and re-start the system to connect to internet, total frustration ....but.......thank you for your second posting!

I went to the Windows Update website.....(even though I am receiving automatic updates !).

Problem resolved:

**Ecchi** · 08-13-06, 11:30 AM

I got just the same problem now, I'll do the 'steps' right now.
Just as an info this link does not work http://broadbandnuts.com/drtweak/index.php?board=4

**aegir** · 08-15-06, 05:57 AM

well accually re10 is pretty right when he said that the error has something to do with service pack 2 coz this error only occurs when you have service pack 2 and is related to a security update they did and fixed later with a patch via windows update if you want to solve this problem just folow this link and dowload the fix suitable for your system

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=894391

or just use windows update but i dont like that stuff

and here is the windows crash analysis for whomever is intrested

That's because you brought up an old thread, you should have started a new one explaining your problems.

**Biggd** · 08-16-06, 08:44 PM

Raise your firewall! Someone is trying to hack into your computer. I had the same problem but it is gone now.

**Biggd** · 08-16-06, 08:48 PM

I was told someeone was trying to hack into my computer, so I raised my firewall and the problem has quit. Makes sense to me. Generic host!
