XP Pro -sp2 help please
      07/07/2005 16:10

Since changing to SP2, I have had several intercepts by Norton of "Microsoft Generic Host Process for Win 32 series attempting to accept connections from......."
The first was from a site in China, which I blocked, and the next from an unidentified site, so I decided to configure to block any attempt using this process.

What worried me was the recommendation that I should permit this and configure for auto permit? Have I blocked something I shouldnt, or done the right thing?

Not long after blocking this, my internet connection died, and has only recovered after I disabled the Norton Firewall.

any thoughts please
