Generic Host Process for Win32 Services has encountered a problem and needs to close and it was an error with svchost.exe. um any help would be appriciated

Go to control panel > network connections. See if all connections are connected and firewalled. If they are not, right-click the icon and Enable the connection. If still no good: right-click again and click Repair.

ive done both of those after ive installed the AV program. ive tried hardwiring it, and on my wireless. both say im connected and both say theyre working properly after i click repair. also both are firewalled. ive also tried pinging different sites. i tried yahoo,google,hotmail,myspace,geekstogo and they all give me a response with no packet loss, but when i bring up my browser it doesnt work. i have my a+ and network+ certs so you can talk to me a little more in depth if need be. another tid bit of info for your minds, my internet works fine without an AV on it, but when i put an AV on it is when it starts acting up. Ive scanned it with spyware doctor, super antispyware and malwarebytes anti-malware and removed all threats. any ideas?

I'm no expert, but I would look for settings you can adjust in your AV software.

Post an ipconfig /all please

There is a good chance, that after trying so many AV programs, you have some leftovers....

So, your computer works well everywhere except for this particular location? If yes, then I don't see how this can be related to antivirus installation.

Regarding this particular problem: maybe DHCP is disabled in the router. Make sure that it is enabled and that your computer (and all other computers that connect to the same router) are set to "obtain an IP adress automatically"

heres the autoruns

this is to the skeptic,

if dhcp was off how would a desktop and another laptop be able to connect to the wireless and have no problems?

[The Skeptic]

Look at this.

[Broni]

1. You have AVG 8 leftovers. Run AVG Remover: http://www.avg.com/download-tools
2. Spyware Doctor may be interfering.
3. You have BitDefender leftovers.
Open Autoruns, and uncheck following entries:
- BDFsDrv
- BDRsDrv

Restart computer.
Delete:
- Softwin folder from C:\Program Files
4. On a top of it, you have a bunch of system files missing, so...
Go Start>Run ("Start Search" in Vista), type in:
sfc /scannow
Click OK (hold CTRL, and SHIFT, hit Enter in Vista).
Have Windows CD/DVD handy.
If System File Checker (sfc) will find any errors, it may ask you for the CD/DVD (rarely in Vista case).
If sfc won't find any errors in Windows XP, it'll simply quit, without any message.

[daathvader]

ok i did all that ran the avg and did the sfc, and unfortunatley for some reason it kept asking for windows xp pro with sp3, the cd i have is xp pro with sp 1a, is there anyway around that?

[Broni]

it kept asking for windows xp pro with sp3

That's because of what I said about missing system files.

is there anyway around that?

Yes. You need to create Windows XP CD with SP3 slipstreamed into it.
