A little while ago a had a worm-virus on my laptop. (Nachi.worm). I got rid of it (McAfee anti-virus can't find it anymore), but my fire wall has to keep blocking incoming data from Generic Host process for win32. I don't know whether i can trust this program or not. Is it normal, if not how can I remove it?

On my system that has 2000pro, I set my firewall to block Generic Host Process. Some other Microsoft operating systems require that it be granted access or you cannot access the internet.
