SP2 Data Execution Prevention?

[Tiny Lund]

I recently installed an HP psc 2510 wireless printer. It seems to work fine
however, since SP2 installation I get a message at the end of bootup that
says windows has closed this program Generic Host Process for Win 32
Services. Below it says Data Execution prevention? I read some about it but
I can't seem to keep the message from appearing. Can anyone help?

Hum, sounds like you may have a trojan version of GenHostProc. DE
prevention is new to sp2, it basically monitors for code execution from
data space (ie, typical buffer-overrun exploit), which a properly
functioning GenHostProc should not do. run spyware checker etc to see if
you have something fishy. try hijack-this too. good luck...

Excellent advice! Exactly the answer. Spybot discovered two items and Norton
found two viruses! Thanks!
