Zone Alarm frequently asks the following question:
"Do you want to allow Generic Host Process for Win32 Services to act as a server?"
What are the risks (and gains), if any, of answering "yes" to this question? I emailed Zone Labs but their very extensive reply never answered the question, it was only a long and complex dissertation on what the Generic Host Process does.
I assume there must be some risk. I always answer "no" and nothing appears to be impaired.
More insight in to this would certainly be appreciated.
