Search Topology Procesing RED Circle and X

Question

Anyone have this issue before? Server has been running for over 7 months and now we come in and this. The latest add on was adding another 2 web application. We use the same Application Pool for all Web Applications.
How to make the red circles x go away? Thanks for your response.

Explanation
The following services are managed by SharePoint, but their running state does not match what SharePoint expects: SPSearchHostController.  This can happen if a service crashes or if an administrator starts or stops a service using a non-SharePoint
interface.  If SharePoint-managed services do not match their expected running state, SharePoint will be unable to correctly distribute work to the service.
Remedy
To stop or start a service managed by SharePoint, use the SharePoint service management interface in the SharePoint Central Administration Site.  If a service has crashed, restart the service manually on the affected servers by running "net
start [service name]" from a command prompt. For more information about this rule, see "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=142683".

Restart the SharePoint Search Host Controller service to apply the changes:
Open a command prompt window on the server that hosts the content processing component. On the
Start menu, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click
Command Prompt and then click Run as administrator.
To stop the SharePoint Search Host Controller, type this command: net stop spsearchhostcontroller
To restart the SharePoint Search Host Controller, type this command: net start spsearchhostcontroller
Is it this easy? No it ain't...
  Checking in Central Admin it shows it is started.
  Checking Services the status shows Starting. I cannot do anything to stop or restart the service.

I wish I could say yes, but nothing was changed or added or removed. I found this response:      
I hate running something in Production not tested.
