NT Authority System Shuting Down

[Joe Hudson]

I just installed XP on my system and everytime I log on
to the net I get an error message reading: " Generic Host
process for win32 services has encountered a problem and
needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

After that message I get the next message and also a
one minute countdown. Message reads: "NT Authority
System Shuting Down."

Please help!!!

Part of your error sounds like MS.Blaster or one of its variants - try going
to one of the free online virus scanning pages.
