Win32 error

Every time I start up my computer, a message pops up saying: Data Execution
Prevention - Microsoft Windows....To help protect your computer, Windows has
closed this program....name: Generic Host Process for Win32
Services...Publisher: Microsoft Corporation. I am wondering if there is
something I can do to get rid of this message. It is getting very annoying. I
happens at every startup and has been happening for a while now. thanks,

Generic Host Process is SvcHost, which is attempting to run a DLL
or other non .Exe at startup. It's possible you've picked up a "Baddie"
that is attempting to run by setting itself to start via SvcHost.
DEP is detecting an attempt to run code outside the address space
it's allowed to use & that's what is triggering the message.
You need to check your system for Viruses and Spyware. There are
hundreds of postings on XP General with advice on that topic, programs
to use & on-line scans links.

I have installed anti-spyware and performed a full system scan and there is
no spyware on my comp. I also have norton and there are no found viruses on
my computer. I also forgot to mention that the message pops up again 4 times
after I send the error report. I read another post about printers and win32
and maybe the error has something to do with the fact that i just changed
printers. I cant think of anything else. any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
rudy
