Does anyone know the meaning of this error message that continually interrupts my computer ?

The message reads as follows :


MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ Runtime Library


Buffer overrun Detected


Program: C:\Windows\explorer.exe


A buffer overrun has been detected which has corupted the programs internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must be terminated.





The only option given is "OK". When I click the "OK" box, my screen flashes and my icons and taskbar temporarily disappear and then are back. A few moments later, it happens again but won't repeat for about 30 minutes. I've never seen it and could use some help. Thanks.

Does anyone know the meaning of this error message that continually interrupts my computer ?
A buffer overrun means that a program has tried to put more info into a reserved block or memory (thebuffer ) thn will fin in the particular buffer. You may have a virus or trojan on your computer. The Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library is a dll named msvcrt.dll. do a search for that file and see if you have multiple copies. If you do, and the file dates and sizes are different, then one of them is probably bad.or altered.
Reply:Boot in SAFE MODE. Try using Windows Explorer there. If you don't get the message, then reboot normally and run some virus checking programs.


If you installed a new program recently, remove it and test your system.

What exactly are you doing when you get this error? Are you using any browsers, programs etc..??





After doing some searching what I recommend doing is going to a computer help forum such as
