Error message - msbb.exe

[sports]

I get this and my screen freezes up; I hear it comes from
adware. Anyone else have this problem? HELP!

Your system has parasites.

MSBB.EXE
MSBB.EXE is spyware that's been installed and through an entry in the registry
is launched each time you boot Win Me. A number of sites will dump msbb.exe
on your system and the program is used to display random pop-up ads on your
desktop.

See MS KB317714 - "Error Message: "Msbb.exe has encountered a problem and
needs to close..."" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=317714) for how to rid
yourself of this junk.

This would be a good time to download yourself a copy of the free Ad-Aware 6.0
from Lavasoft (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and also SpyBot
Search & Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and use them to check your
system for other commercial parasites remembering that they are only as good
as when you last updated their reference files. I also use a program called
BHODemon (http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm that checks for
unwanted Browser Help Objects and SpywareBlaster
(http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareblaster.html) which can help prevent
some parasites getting a grip on your PC.

Then finally there is CWShredder
(http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip or
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip) which is the best way
of getting rid of the many forms of the CoolWebSearch hijacker details of
which can be found at http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html
and also http://www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/c/cws.asp.
