I receive the following message:
Generic Host process for Win32 services has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Shortly after the machine freezes.
I Googled it and the suggested fix 902400 doesn't help as my machine says it is older than the system I running.
I am running XP service pack 3. I have run Malwarebytes several times. It did pick up 3 infections (trojan agents) which I am unable to remove (they are in quarantine).
The last scan found no infections.
Can anyone cast any light on this to a non techie please?
Incidentally, I did inadvertently cancel a Microsoft Update recently before it had completed and was unable to reinstate it - not sure if that affects things.
