Generic Host Process for Win32 Services

mijellin · 27th June 2007

WinXP Home SP2

Recently, I've started receiving this error each and everytime I've tried to connect by ethernet. The following is what invariably happens:

1. Connect to internet succesfully (ASDL)
*5-10minutes later*
2. The following error comes up:

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

I also have a screenshot of the "Error signature" if that would be of help.

If I click the Don't Send Error Report button (closing the dialog box), my internet immediately stops working. If I just ignore it and move it to the side of the screen, the internet continues to work for another 3-5 minutes, before simply crashing.

When I restart the computer, everything returns to normal, the internet works and everything, until of course 5-10 minutes later...

I've tried some spyware sweeping, and have done the following:

1. run AVG antispyware
Here I must note that I was unable to save the logfile from the AVG scan, because the box was greyed out. I did jot down what it detected, besides a whole slew of cookietrackers:

worm.brontok.a
adware.sahat
adware.safesurfing
adware.begin2search

2. run superantispyware

Here's the log for that:
