Hi, Can anyone tell me what "Microsoft Generic Host Process for Win 32" is?, I recently had a W32 Virus ("for win32 services" - sounds like w32 virus). and noticed that since had the virus it has automaticly generated a rule on my Firewall, and when I block It, it wont allow me to go on any web even though connected to Internet, when I allow it, it will. Is it the Virus?? Or Normal?? The Virus I had does appear to be gone though??
