What is "Generic Host Processor for Win32"?

Recommended Posts

Have ZoneAlarm running as a firewall. It keeps popping-up with a request from a "Generic Host Processor for Win32" to access the net. Can't find anything under Google regarding this. Is this something I should allow access to the net on a regular basis, if at all?

It allows your system to listen to service requestes depending on the services that you are running ... I allow mine at home to run, without any problems ... granted you can be extra cautious but I see no need for the SOHO user.

Sounds like these processes might be causing some of those pop ups
