The program that is causing that error is called "CommonName" (not to be confused with Common Files!!!).
I tried about 6 other spyware programs and could only get rid of it using PestPatrol.

As Neets pointed out, Winnet.exe is the program "common name" which runs the CommonName Toolbar. It is an unstable program that eats up 90% of your CPU time. Getting rid of it will make surfing seem like a dream come true.
The only way to get rid of it, though, is to remove it in add/remove programs then run Spybot. You better get rid of iMesh and Kazaa, too, if you have them, so that it doesn't reinstall through them.
