I do not yet have a solution but i have the same problem.
Norton Internet Security is popping up with messages like
***
198085343.exe is attempting to connect to a DNS server
***
After i select "Allways block connections from this program on all
ports" it will give me another window with yet another "###..##.exe is
attempting ..." message.
In paralel with this I am getting a windows pop up with title
"218367843.exe - Application Error" and message "The application failed
to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate the
application". Once I click OK i'll get a different numerical value .exe
in the title of an identical window. If I keep clicking ok after I look
in Task Manager I'll have a collection of running processes which I
cannot stop.
These processes also apear in C:\windows\temp
From this directory I can delete some but not the running ones.
If anyone else experiencing this issue has found a solution please
post. Thank you
