Ok so heres the thing. Everytime i run Firefox, Winamp or pretty much any application there is on my computer, I get that message you get when a program crashes, to send or not to send the error message etc, except the program doesn't really crash. I chuck the error window in a corner of my screen and I'm using all my other applications like this. Anyone knows what causes it? Norton isn't really getting any results, what free anti-virus programs do you guys suggest?

Anything but Norton. Get AVG while it is still free.

Raiyne · 12-16-2006, 06:08 AM

Ok... whats AVG stand for?

EDIT: Oh wait, found it.

Hmm.. lets see if there are any cracks for it..

No don't use any anti-virus program.. Dammit people you guys just don't listen.
You won't need it. Just don't download anything you don't know about.

AVG is a trusted anti-virus program, it is only free until shortly into 2007.

If that isn't helping, then please, enlighten us with a "better" solution.

You have to format each time you get a virus. Common sense.

Raiyne · 12-16-2006, 09:58 AM

Really? You guys must have a lot of time then...

I removed the problem anyway, it was a trojan backdoor thingy. Case closed.
