DEP Message - Generic Host Process for Win32 Services
Occasionally get this message when I boot into XP Pro SP3
http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk44/tjubb/IMAGE.jpg Data Execution Prevention - Generic Host Process for Win32 Services (To protect your computer, Windows has closed this program.) Not sure if they are related but when I hibernate randomly when I wake the computer the IP address is reset to all 000's and trying to reset the address is futile. Reboot is necessary. I will hibernate at work and then wake at home and vice versa. Any thoughts? Tom |

DEP Message - Generic Host Process for Win32 Services
DEP was created to try to stop certain types of malicious behavior from
executing, so DEP warnings need to be taken seriously. Your computer is almost certainly infected with malware. The fact that your IP address resets almost guarantees it. A less likely explanation is that you installed poorly-written software that is setting off a false-positive DEP warning. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est SoxFaninVA wrote: Occasionally get this message when I boot into XP Pro SP3 http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk44/tjubb/IMAGE.jpg Data Execution Prevention - Generic Host Process for Win32 Services (To protect your computer, Windows has closed this program.)

Any thoughts? Tom The error means XP is doing it's best to protect you from what it perceives as a threat. You should scan your computer for malicious software. Reduce the chances of malicious software by running some scans. Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs: Malwarebytes (MBAM): http://malwarebytes.org/ SUPERAntiSpywa (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/ These can be uninstalled later if desired. I would not follow any advice to "work around" the problem - fix it instead. |

I will hibernate at work and then wake at home and vice versa. svchost.exe can have several NT services rolled into it. See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314056 You can also use SysInternal's Process Explorer to see what each svchost.exe process contains for services within it. Alas, the error message that you get does not provide the PID (process ID) to let you know WHICH of the svchost.exe processes it will close (there can be several of them). With Process Explorer, you could see which one goes away but you'll have to figure out what each has so you can tell what disappeared before you allow the close of one of the svchost.exe processes. One of the services rolled up under a svchost.exe has a memory allocation problem and causing the DEP alert. Did this start after you installed some program? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875352 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Execution_Prevention It doesn't have to be malicious code. It could just be bad code. |
