Application has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconveneience."
After closing the window, the system behaves normally. This problem is more of an annoyance than a hindrance but I would still like to get rid of the Alert Window. Can anyone please tell me where the message is coming from, and how I can remove the cause?
You should probably install something like AdAware and run a complete system scan with it, then let it remove whatever it finds. Chances are, you have more than one unnecessary (and frequently troublesome) application on there causing problems.
Hi, I also have a similiar problem. Mine however says there was an Application error with wupdater, needs to shut down. sorry for any inconveinence. I cannot access any web pages I just get page cannot be displayed, it also effects my buddy list on aol which does not appear on the screen anymore. Keep in mind I cannot access any web pages to go and download "fixes". I believe the problem is similiar because I had been on a site to download wallpaper and the site was "incredifind" I scanned for viruses and have none, I have ad destroyer and virtual bouncer who did catch some spyware however I'm still having the problem with not being able to access any web pages!. HELP!! I have a Dimension 2400
Spyware is getting more and more obnoxious. No single antispyware tool will get rid of everything. Download, install, update, and run bothSpybot and Ad-Aware and let these programs remove everything they find.
If these programs don't solve all of the problmes, go to the following site and follow the directions to download and run the analysis tool called HijackThis. Generate a log file, then open it and copy and paste the text of the log file in a message in the Virus Information and Removal forum where one of the HijackThis experts can offer advice on how to fix the problem:
I wish I could go and download these programs to remove this junk from my computer. Problem is I can't access any webpages to be able to download Ad destroyer or Spybot. This is whats driving me crazy, How am I supposed to download these things when I I can't access the web. Any ideas?
May be a HOSTS file issue. Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc and locate the file "HOSTS". Rename it to "HOSTS.OLD" and reboot. Then see if you can get to those webpages.

It appears that you may have some malware on your system. "updmgr.exe" is not a valid Windows file. Instructions for removal are here: http://www.kephyr.com/spywarescanner/library/keenvalue.updmgr/index.phtml
