Do you know a lot about computers? what does this mean...?

Question

Sometimes when I "x" off the internet, a little thing pops up on my screen, and it has been happening more frequently. It doesn't seem to affect anything, I just click on OK and it goes away. It says this

"The instruction at "0x07dd454d" referenced memory at "0x07dd454d." The memory could not be "read." Click on OK to terminate the program."

That is what it says, word for word. If anyone can tell me what this means, I will be most grateful, as this is very baffling to me, and I will surely give the first to answer correctly 10 points!

Answer 1

Hi,

The problem is not spyware. here is an excerpt from a Microsoft Knowledgebase article on the problem.

This problem occurs with Web site links that use long URL strings that are called from scripts. This problem occurs because the additional information that is associated with a Web site URL is not correctly stored in the Index.dat file. The Index.dat file maintains a reference to all the Web site URLs that you visit. When you click a Web site link in Internet Explorer, Internet Explorer updates the Internet Explorer history with the Web site URL information. Sometimes, Internet Explorer stores additional information that is associated with the URL in the Index.dat file. If this additional information is very long, you receive the error message.


Follow the instructions from the URL below.
