Generic Host Process for Win32

Hi when i allow this programe to run, when online i keep getting security
warnings from Norton, MS RPCSS ATTACK(3), MS RPC NETWORK DDE BO, and some
others like this and a Trojan horse attack, all blocked through Norton but
constant one after the other, they don't stop, If i block this programe
through Norton all is fine no attacks at all and computer works fine,when
online or not, the only problem is using windows updates that will not work
unless i enable this programe as soon as i do the attacks start almost
instantly, I have scanned my whole computer for viruses and this programe no
infections found. HELP

It seems you have not enabled your firewall on XP.
If you are connected to the internet for fun, port 80 and 25 (going out) are
**sufficient**. All other traffic can be blocked.

To enable it, just go to control panel and security center.

Yes. Only run one firewall.

the XP firewall is not bad.
And a firewall that pops-up a window, each minute or second, *which* attacks
were detected, is not a good firewall, keep that in mind! :)

Statistically, on each internet node or IP address, several attacks per
minute are performed, sometimes even several per second, that depends on
your ISPs subnetmask.

As has been suggested many times, running more than one firewall
isn't a particularly good idea.
