My system has been crashing regularly of late. I get the message:"This Program has Performed an Illegal Operation and will Shut Down".In Details, I get the following "explanation":MSBB caused an invalid page fault inmodule MSBB.EXE at 017f:004013ab.Registers:EAX=00000000 CS=017f EIP=004013ab EFLGS=00010202EBX=00000000 SS=0187 ESP=017bfc88 EBP=017bfcacECX=01b0c010 DS=0187 ESI=00000000 FS=3acfEDX=01b0c00c ES=0187 EDI=01b0c010 GS=0000Bytes at CS:EIP:8b 08 8d 55 f8 52 68 1c f9 41 00 50 ff 11 85 c0 Stack dump:017bfdd4 00008e44 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 004021d6 00000000 ae4c5e70 017bfdcc 004021de 00008e44 017bfe20 045f7a4c 00008001 17a71cb6.Any idea what this means?

It is spyware.Web3000 (MSBB.EXE) aka. N-Case - Dastardly advertising spyware that overwrites your wsock32.dll system file, and may transmit lists of URLs you visit. [link:accs-net.com/smallfish/web3000.htm]Allen

Right you are!I downloaded and ran adaware.com. It found 32 odd registry keys for a total of 94 spyware components, and deleted them all. Thanks for the help!!Gratefully,Hauptmann
