Tell me more about the affected box - is it XP, Win2K, or Vista?

Have you tried a therapeutic restart? (power down, power up)
To: adorno
Are you getting an error message number associated with the message? Is it accompanied by a blue screen at any time?
What type/version of anti-virus have you loaded, and have you recently run the live-update for it? Same with anti-spyware...

I would suggest a repair-reinstall of WinXP.

What do you remember that you were doing before you saw this message for the first time?

I looked at that and it won't help since it's not about a new program. It's about all of my programs or browser or firewall or even the internet connections. I won't be able to download anything on that computer since I can't even get the wireless or wired connection to run.

It’s a pentium 4, 2.53ghz, xp pro.
And it started as soon as I booted up that machine this morning. I use a wireless connection on that machine using Horizon dsl.

I work on PC’s, and I’ve cleaned a lot of malware and viruses that produce messages similar to that one.
Make sure your virus definitions are up to date, and if you can, do a deep scan of your entire hard drive.
I recommend AVG anti-virus for protection.
