IE 8.0 installation issue.

[R. Ganesan]

Dear Sir,



I am using windows xp sp2. Recently I upgraded from IE 6.0 to IE 8.0. Since

then I am getting 'Generic Host for win32 services needs to close down' often

in the midst of browsing. I have avira antivir 9 anid zone alarm 5.0

versions. On getting this error, the internet connection just freezes and I

am unable to display the connection status from the taskbar. The connection

status windows comes and it immediately disappears. I had zone alarm and

antivir on when upgrading to IE8.0.



Even installing hotfix kb 894391 does not help resolve this issue.



I request your help in this regard. Thanks for all your posts.



Yours sincerely,

R. GANESAN.
