Could someone please help me? Yesterday, while my husband was on the internet a box came up saying that Generic Host Process Win32 was trying to access the internet and did we want to allow it once, deny it once, deny it always, etc. This box comes up alot and we always say deny once. But this time we put deny always. Not to long after that, we had problems with the internet and could no longer connect.

After reading some of the previous postings, I realize that this may have affected our ability to connect to the internet. If so, how do I now fix this. When I click to connect the modem, everything seems fine, but it just won't bring up any page for the internet --always saying 'cannot find server'.

I would much appreciate if anyone could help me with this. Please treat me as a computer idiot in your responses. Don't assume I know anything, because I probably don't! Thank you!

Allow it. IT's pretty harmless. You may get as many as 5 or 6 or 7 cases of the same service.

Whatever firewall you have, you can remove
the entry and it will ask again.

Abnormal,

Thank you for replying to my enquiry. As I said though, I'm a complete computer idiot. So could you please explain to me how I delete the entry?

thanks

What is the name of the firewall or
program that gave you the message?

Unfortunately I wasn't paying too much attention at the time, but we have Norton anti virus on the computer and I'm pretty sure that is the box that always pops up.

thanks

I think you have Norton Internet Security, try this.

-Open the Norton Internet Security Application
-Click on "Norton Internet Security" button located on the left side
-Click on "Personal Firewall" located on center
-Click on "Configure" button on bottom right side
-When dialog box appears, click on "Program Control" tab
-Scroll down and find and click on "Microsoft Generic Host Process for Win32 services"
-Then click on "Modify" bottom at button of scroll box.
-When dialog box appears, click and choose "Permit" button
-Close all boxes and close Norton.
-Reboot your computer.

I will check up on you in the morning.

Abnormal,

Thanks so much for the info! Worked perfectly and now I know how to fix it again if the problem occurs in the future. Again, thank you.
