Just yesterday I've been having this Generic Host Process Win32 errors. After I click the "Dont send" button, I am sometimes - sometimes not - prompted with the NTAUTHORITY IS GOING TO SHUTDOWN YOUR SYSTEM BECAUSE WE DON'T LIKE YOU. AND WE NEVER DID. YOU HAVE 60 SECONDS TO SAVE YOUR WORK. Well. It reminded me of the MsBlaster.exe worm a couple of years ago infected a whole load of pcs. Anyway, I have WinXp Pro with SP2 and a few updates. I just ran Kaspersky antivirus and it just detected as Im writing this: Win32.Zlob.yd on ishot.exe, a "trojan downloader". Whatever that means. I am hurrying here because I don't know when that dayam Generic Host Process is gonna show up and screw me over. The error says "EventType: BEX. blablah NETAPI32.DLL" I can't seem to find anything regarding this. Here's the log, maybe you can find something I don't. Also after the Generic Host error I can't use internet anymore.

edit: ok the error just came back again, it, apparently wasn't the worm. Goddamn Im tired of this.
