You don't specify what anti-spyware programs you have used, but the error you are receiving is most commonly associated with Kazaa. See if the information
here is any help.
I have had WinMX on my computer for a couple of years without a problem. It should not cause an issue as long as you have a current anti-virus program and use Adaware and Spybot.
its no use, nothing seems to fix this problem........it goes away after i run spybot but just comes back if i turn the computer on the next day..........im going to write a letter to mr gates :(
