Allow Generic Host Process to access the internet

January 20th, 2005 5:39pm. Geekery

If Zonealarm says, “Generic Host Process for Win32 Services is trying to access the internet”, “Validation: Not available in ZoneAlarm”, “Application:svchost.exe” you should Allow it to, and Remember this setting.

The Generic Host Process is a good program from Microsoft. Google for it to find out more.

I can’t tell but I think this switch sometimes flips to “Deny” on it’s own, which is a bad thing because then the computer will have no internet access. 2 clients have told me, “I don’t know, I don’t think I denyed it.” Comments?

This happened on Zonealarm 5.5.062.004
