Thanks for your above article. Its help me to solve the problem.
This really works
However by running the tool or changing the registry manually, you will face the issue with connecting to your networked computer.
This solution works wonder for the stand alone computers.

I fix the problem only with Generic Host Removal Tool, but the network with another computers stop working. The “Updated 8th May 2010” doesn’t work for me, because when i try to install the Hotfix From Microsoft For Generic Host Problem Page the system tolds me “You already use Service Pack 3 and you don’t need this fix…”
With two words: My windows is with SP3, but i still have a Generic Host Error, i can fix it with Generic Host Removal Tool, but then i lose my connections with another computers.
HELP please!!!!!

Hi to all
Best solution for win32 generic host error is 1 ) Install Netprotector Registered version ,(Net protector comes with utility named win32 process, which closes worm ports which leads generic host error..
or quickheal antivirus with firewall.
Thanks & Enjoy
Didn’t WORK .
Why ?
I tried all METHOD.
But Still showing when I start the PC.
got a sound problem due this error & it didnt work 4 me either
Holy Cow it works!!!! Thank You so much.
yes its working goooooooooooooooooooooood thank you so much…………..!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks for this valuable info, it works!!!
didnt work, nothing does
Doesn’t work. Nothing works. I’ve tried a half dozen fixes from different websites. None of them work. I’ve spent the last three weeks trying to fix this. My advice? Format and hope that it doesn’t come back.
I have spent too many time to find the solution on many website but the problem is still can not be solved. The message of the Generic Host Error is disappear but the biggest problem for me is that I can not access to the other computer on my LAN and now i have solved it by follow your instruction. Thank you!!!
I have downloaded it and did every step you said to do…..lets see if it works
wow this does not work…..it still shows
First of all, I couldn’t tell if my XP is 32 bit or 64 bit but I am guessing it is 32 because I get messages about win32?????? I downloaded both files from Hotfix… for 64 bit and 32 bit.
Then I couldn’t finish the download because it said, ‘Update/update.exe is not a valid 32 application’
What should I do? My Avast antivirus keeps showing me the svchost related ‘threat’ according to it. I did a full scan of my computer. I don’t know if I have a virus on my net book…but I know that once I get the ‘Generic host error’ , its like i cannot use my net book anymore. the Internet (Firefox) freezes, and so does anything else.. for example ‘control panel’ etc…. please help me… I don’t know what’s going on with my net book. thanks a lot in advance.
How can you install or download anything when the error occurs right away, and doesn’t let any internet browsers work?

I was getting the Generic Host for Win 32 Services Message which led to the system freezing and requiring a hard reboot. In addition I was getting redirects to unrelated sales sites whenever I used Google. After a couple of weeks of reading blogs and trying different suggestions I finally found a combination of processes that seems to have worked – all free!.
First I downloaded and ran TDSSKiller.
Than I ran the free version of Malwarebytes.
Then I ran MS Security Essential which is my real time anti – virus protection.
All three products found and removed viruses. Finally I ran SuperAntiSpyware to remove any other spyware that may have infected my systems. For the last 48 hours I have had no re0ccurence of the problem and the overall performance of my computer is the best is has been in a while. I normally don’t post anywhere but this Generic Host virus is very frustrating and seems to be effecting a lot of people so I am posting a solution that worked for me.
I had the same problem as bobeberb. I’d been trying everything I could find to fix this problem with no luck until I tried His solution. Ran TDSSkiller and rebooted. That stopped the re-directs and possibly the Generic Host error. Ran Malwarebytes. It found 23 Trojans and other malware and fixed them all. I than ran my real time anti-virus(AVG anti-virus). It found nothing. I than ran the SuperAntiSpyware and it found over 800 threats. Thanks bobeberb for posting your solution. Seems to have worked for me also.
how to speed up internet speed
I can’t believe I put up with this problem for months, when the fix was so easy!
Thank you so much guys, for making my life better! Hugs and kisses 🙂
I guess I was too quick to send the above response. It came back. Apparently I still have the problem, I ‘ll have to search other web sites for the solution. Thanks, anyway….
I suffered with this irritating issue for months and trawled through so many websites to find a way to get rid of it…….it drove me mad and nothing worked UNTIL i came across someone suggesting I try Hitman Pro 3.5
I downloaded the free version and it picked up all sorts of trojan/rootkit malware issues that so many other AV software programs had missed AND more importantly it deleted pr quarantined the bugs meaning that I now, thank god, touch wood have a PC free from this pain in the @ss virus 🙂
I recommend anyone you has this issue to try Hitman Pro. I promise you I am not someone who works for them……just someone who is happy to pass on the good news and help others feel the relief I feel right now 🙂
I’ve had this problem for 5 weeks now. I’ve tried to ignore it but It messes with my desktop and doesn’t let me access certain things like movie maker or the internet. It aslso removes my audio. I downloaded this and I hope this works and I pray to god that it works 🙂
ok
Thank U very much for giving me a great and helpfull solution
thank u so much….it works…
thank u so much….it works
and good result
Thanks
Works brilliantly 🙂
thank u very much for your help. its works. good luck
@ Bobeberb
Thanks Bobeberb. I followed your process and it worked wonderfully! I haven’t had a problem for over a month. Thanks so much for sharing. That Generic Host Process Error was killing me.
Fantastic tool yar… welldone and do shall continue…. cheers
It didn’t work for me, same error is showing again and again. Only thing i got is that i can’t access LAN connection
Thanks Guys! This fix works, you did a good job. Cheers!
thanks, my problem is solve but the computer is not connecting with other computer in the network. i cannot share files and folders in my network.
can you please still tell me what to do
Tried the tool above and still received the error. Tried Hitman Pro and I’m good. Hopefully this is not temporary fix. My problem with the Hot Fixes was that I was on SP3 and each time I tried to download fix it stated that I have a more recent version and there’s no need to download. Hitman seemed to work great!!
Hi,
I have Sp3 and i Also get the Error message , and the Hotfix is only for Sp2 so it doesn’t work for me,
can maybe anybody help me with this,.
Good job Done Guy………….
