Having trouble with my PC at the moment. When on internet
after two mins a message comes on the screen and it shuts
my PC down. The message says " Generic host process for
Win 32 services has encounter a problem and needs to
close". Any ideas?

You might have MSBlaster

The first and last links are to copies of scripts that will disinfect your
machine, the last one being zipped.
