Generic Host W32

[Guest]

I encountered my first problem/error dialog since installing WinXPSP2 one
month ago. I received this error message:
"Generic Host W32 encountered a problem and must shut down. Send report to
M/S?"
Please tell me what this means. Everythng seemed to be running so well.
Thanks, Bill

I ran the fixblast file and it said I do not have the Blaster Worm. Would
you please tell more about what the Generic Host 32 is and suggest any other
problems I might have, Thank you, Bill
