I am trying to help a friend with his XP machine reporting the msg:" Generic
Host Process for win32 Service" after 2-5 minutes it is connected to the
internet through the ADSL (LAN) and than the service is disconnected (even
though it appear to be still up). Connecting with normal dial-up line does
not show the message. I found out the machine had several viruses. I cleaned
them all using Stinger, sasser, Welchia fixes and updating Symantec Norton AV
at latest level and run it. I also installed adware6 tool to remove adware
stuff. After I did all of this it seemed it helped, He was able to connect
via ADSL no problem for a longer time(a couple of hours)...than same issue
again. I asked him to re-run all the stuff I provided him with to see if any
other virus is present... but it all seems ok No viruses are reported. What
else can I do? Anyone knows what it is all about? If it is a worm any idea
what could be? This is also preventing him from isntalling service pack 2
(from WinUpdate)
Thanks
