BleepingComputer.com: A Program Was Blocked from using the internet, "Generic Host Process for WIN32 services

Hello,
I have been having issues today trying to connect to the internet. Contacted my SP and they weren't much help, except for BIG money! Anyway, I have Windows XP. I ran a scan on my desktop and came up with 20 viruses which had been quarenteened. I emptied the quarenteen.
I called my local computer store who recommended Combo Fix. I have a laptop that I was able to load the program onto a USB. I inserted it into the desktop, started the whole thing going, it ran it's report etc but I am still unable to connect to the internet on a continual basis. It lets me in for a few minutes and then the latest message I got was the one in my topic title.......what should I do next?

I would suggest a combination of Superantispyware and Malwarebytes. Then you might want to make sure that you arent being proxied to somewhere else (Open Internet Explorer>Tools>Internet Options>Connection tab>LAN Settings>Uncheck use proxy).

What is the origin of this message?

Windows doesn't block programs from Internet access...and Generic Host Process is a routine process connecting to the Internet.
