svchost.exe

[azcoyote]

When connecting to the internet Zone Alarm pops up a message asking to
allow Generic Host Process for Win 32 (svchost.exe) access. What is
Generic Host Process/svchost? I'm running XP.

Do you have WinXP configured to automatically check for updates,
and how often? Do you have WinXP configured to synchronize its system
time with an atomic clock, and how often?
