Thanks Dave. Adware SE was downloaded and updated and it was execute on the
machine in safe mode together with the Norton AV at latest updated level. NAV
found nothing, while Adware found 12 dangerous objects whcih were eliminated.
Than both NAV and Adware were run again in normal mode: no issue.
The XP machine run for about two days no problem. NOw have the same exact
symptom I described before. The only thing the guy said was that he noticed
that before this failure happens the hard disk starts running like crazy and
that the message "Generic Host Process for Win32 Service" is posted and the
connection through ADSL is dropped. Any other hints? I suggested to run again
Adware and NAV in safe mode and see if something new comes out... but than I
do not know what to say more.
Ciao. Giorgio
