Morning Stuntman,

It is my understanding that there can be numerous generic host processes running in XP depending on your software that you are using.
If you want to find out what program is using which generic process, go into ZA and click and remove one process from ZA. The next time ZA pops up asking for permission, you will know which program the generic process is for.
The address below will answer any questions about ZA.

Just my thought,
XDon

I've got Win XP Pro...my ZA shows 2 generic items too. They've been there for quite some time.

Had no problems yet....sure hope it's just Windows' stuff, like XDon sez.
