memory access violation

[robert]

for the last few days, every time i log on my pc, i get
an error message - 'memory access violation in module
kernel 32 at.............' followed by several numbers,
e.g.6946:27956665. These numbers are different each
time i log on.

Please, can someone explain what this means, and how can
i correct it?.

Thanks. Robert Scott

Hi Robert,

Swen worm, see:

Clue: Microsoft does not distribute updates or patches via e-mail. You
likely recently received and installed one of these faked support emails.
