Generic Host Process for Win32 Services, Port 32729 om.newsgroup 09-26-2005

've made a change on my router.
And now I'm getting the message from my firewall: "Generic Host Process
for Win32 Services, Port 32729".
There's several such messages that come up each with a different port.

Is this an intrusion from a potential hacker?

Should I block it forever?

Thanks.

OM

It sounds like you already have a trojan.

You should remove the cause, not the symptom.

I don't think you should allow it use the high ports, but you will probably need
to allow Generic Host Process for Win32 Services through for DNS (port53) access
at a minimum.
Could it be automatic updates? What IP is it accessing?

This is just the typical cluttering message of your "Personal Firewall",
this software program is trying to make you feel secure with, because it
seems to be stopping all h4X0R5.

Better forget it, and remove this piece of crap from your PC. As an
alternative, you could use the Windows-Firewall, or stop any servers
running on your box i.e. using http://www.ntsvcfg.de/ntsvcfg_eng.html
or http://www.dingens.org, not needing any filtering any more.
