Let me know if there is anything, beyond reformatting WindowsXP.
Thanks in advance,

Re: Generic Host Process for Win32 Services has encountered a problem
 

You're back DaniWeb4Jim and obviously not following any advice when given. Back in September in this thread Lost All Programs List from Start Menu I gave you some information;
You are doing a "bit" better just two months later, now you only have 2 anti-virus programs running and back then you had 4 running. The rule is the very same today as it ALWAYS has been...ONE but now you are running AVG8 and BitDefender 2009
I also told you to FIX this entry with HiJackThis;
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://search.myidentitydefender.com/smallsearch.html
but instead you posted your log, with that still showing and left me this message before I could respond;
I told you to fix that entry because it was associated with CyberDefender which was...
I truly hesitate to offer advice since it has not been followed before. This error you note should contain more information if you If you click Click Here at the bottom of the message box, you will get some more information on possibly what file is causing the error.
The scan with MBA-M was done with an out of date program. It should always be updated before each and every scan. This program updates on a regular basis, sometimes daily or even more often. The Database version yours is showing is 1386 but the current version is now 1417.

Maybe follow advice given would be the place to begin.

Re: Generic Host Process for Win32 Services has encountered a problem
 

I am having trouble uninstalling Bitdefender because it said that I had a file missing call their support. BUT I did and do follow your advice, not a fair statement.
You sent or DANIWEB sent me a message and when I opened DANIWEB it did not show your message and I looked on your posts yesterday and did not find that one you mention?
Now this gives me a gray rectangular message that (Can I email it to you?=?=email?) That is annoying as heck.
Sorry you are right I did not update it but I ran and updated b4 and nothing shows I will try again. Thanks and really I enjoy getting your help and did follow you info but tried another antivirus without turning of the other.

Re: Generic Host Process for Win32 Services has encountered a problem
 

Not certain which one you are talking about here, I noted several. Here is the post number from your previous thread for each one that I noted;
Post # 8: I also told you to FIX this entry with HiJackThis;
Post #16:
I told you to fix that entry because it was associated with CyberDefender which was...
Post #8
Now if BitDefender 2009 cannot be uninstalled because it is missing a file. Try using the BitDefender Uninstall Tool
What is giving you a gray rectangular message? Are you saying you want to email it to me or is the message saying that?

Re: Generic Host Process for Win32 Services has encountered a problem
 

JHolland1964 can we chat and is there an email that I can add a pdf?
I will send you a screen print of the message. I have already tried Bill Gates fix which is Microsoft's Hot fix that is more than 3 years old and said to only happen with SP2. I am running SP3 so they loose. I ran all of the ANTI-MAL-SPYWARE-VIRUS anyone suggested. Puzzle is on another site a guy said he reformated and reinstalled Win XP and the message came back after he installed SP3 and Microsoft updates.

Re: Generic Host Process for Win32 Services has encountered a problem
 

Yes I have seen that also.
Look at my attachments so that you see what you need to click on and what we must see. What we have to know is the actual process that is causing the error. That is what I have clumsily outlined in the second attachement.

We need to know this because the 1st error notification box is just telling you that Generic Host Process for Win32 Services is having a problem. The Generic Host Process for Win32 is
Svchost.exe. If you look at the Windows XP process list in Task Manager , you will notice at several Svchost.exe processes: some running under the SYSTEM account (sometimes referred to as LocalSystem) and some running under two new service accounts: NETWORK SERVICE and LOCAL SERVICE. You may very well have more showing, that is ok. Svchost.exe. does exactly what the name implies, it HOSTS the services on the computer. So just this generic error won't tell us anything, we need to know the particulars of the specific error, that is why you have to look in the info and see what specific process or processes are causing the errors.

See attachment

Re: Generic Host Process for Win32 Services has encountered a problem
 

Thanks for the uninstall link Bitdefender uninstalled

Re: Generic Host Process for Win32 Services has encountered a problem
 

Good! Lots of times the anti-virus programs can be very stubborn on removal.

Re: Generic Host Process for Win32 Services has encountered a problem
 

Out curiosity Jim, how big is the hard drive and how much RAM is installed on this error producing computer?
