Probably an elusive virus/malware in my PC?
Recently, I've been randomly getting these errors
Generic Host Process for Win 32
Windows Explorer cause a problem...
I suspected it might be an virus, but so far my PcCillin antivirus has not been able to detect anything, and also Spybot
HijackThis doesn't shows any strange entry as well.
So, I was wondering if there's anything that can detect those rare or new virus without depending on virus signature alone? Perhaps monitor for any suspicious activity in my PC or something like that...
Thank you..

Try running a scan with MalwareBytes http://www.malwarebytes.org/ as this program often detects things that other programs miss out.
Also I would recommend the Nod32 Antivirus as from my experience it has been the most effective antivirus I have ever used (and I've tried all the major brands). They offer a free online scanner which you may find useful http://www.eset.com/onlinescan/
Hope this helps

running two antiviruses at the sdame time will only slow your pc to its knees and also cause errors and crashes
instead go to cnet.com and download avira antivir or another well known antiviruse software, if you want to stick to your antivirus, just disable it and install the other ones,one by one, update and scan
