so all of sudden my neighbor PC came with all sort of weird messages being "generic host process for win32 services is trying to access the internet" the most annoying one… this happened just after getting the newest Zone Alarm installed.

I have read that Zone Alarm and AVAST are not compatible one disliking another… so she has removed Zone Alarm which asked about letting generic host process for win32 services to connect to the internet or to deny such action… if once installed Zone Alarm again -highly dubious- she gets asked again, what would be the right choose… to allow or to deny?

Last but not least, which could be a definition of such "generic host process" ??, all I can find are much like nightmares regarding it being a spy best friend and such… paranoia??
