Error Message!

[Guest]

Every time i exit any running program on my windows xp home edition sp2 i get
the following error message!
"Instruction at XXXXXXXXX referenced Memory at 0X00000XX. The memory could
not be read."
This applies to almost all the programs like messengers, internet explorer
etc.
Please let me know about the reason for this and the possible solution!

What You Should Know About Spyware
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/devioussoftware.mspx

CAUTION!!!!! Before you try to remove spyware using any of these programs ,
download a copy of LSPFIX from any of the following sites:
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
(if your OS is Win2k or XP) The process of removing certain malware may kill
your internet connection. If this should occur, this program, LSPFIX, will
enable you to regain your connection.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:
