Post subject: Q: Generic host process for Win32 Services
Archived from groups: alt>comp>anti-virus (more info?)

Hi there,

I seem to have almost continuous activity going on, Internet-wise.
Zone Alarm informs me that this is generic host processes for Win32.

My question is: is this innocent communication between the computer
and the ADSL modem, or is there some Trojan which has fooled Zone
Alarm into thinking it's a legitimate process?

In addition to the products below, I also recently installed and
updated the free version of AVG, which also found nothing to report.

Am I just being paranoid, or do I have something to worry about?

I have Spybot Search and Destroy, resident enabled. I have Java Cools
Prerelease installed.
I'm running Zone Alarm Security Suite 6.5.737.000, Anti Virus Vet
engine 11.91.1.000 DAT version 11.9.10088.000, antispyware engine
5.0.83.0 DAT version 01.200612.585

Computer is Windows XP SP 2, automatic updates configured to tell me
whether I need to download and install.

I use an old version of MS Outlook for mail, Fire Fox 1.5.0.8 and
Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519IS.
