I'm getting buffer overide detected message.?

Question

I wasn't copying a CD or DVD or anything like that. On the body of that message it says it has corrupted the program's internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and now must be terminated. When I pushed OK the computor freoze. I restartred my computor and it came up again. This time I tryed to hit x to close the box and the computor screen went blank. I shut it off and started it again and this time just hit internet explorer. It went to my homepage and is actually running faster Than before. but of course microsoft c++ runtime shows on my bottom tray. In other words, I can ignore i and it runs fine. I should mention that I had a vundo virus last night but was told how to delete it. I did that last night, this message didn't come til this morning.

Answer 1

Buffer OVERFLOW problems are often caused by malware. I suggest you run your anti-virus and download Ad-Aware SE and Spybot S&D (they’re free), install them, update them and run them. If they don't seem to be able to get rid of everything they report finding, try running them again, this time in Safe Mode. Safe Mode prevents many instances of malware from loading and protecting itself against deletion of its files.

Also, turn off System Restore to evict any copies of bad stuff that might be lurking there.

To get into Safe Mode:

1.Log out and reboot your machine.
2.When the machine starts the reboot sequence, press the F8 key
3.Select Safe Mode from the resulting menu.
4.The machine will continue booting, but the Windows desktop will look different. You won't be able to see the Internet, for instance. You may have to log in as Administrator to delete the bad files.
5.When you're finished, log out and reboot back into normal mode.

Update and run both regularly.

Good luck.

Buffer overflow causes programs to become damaged and unusable. Whatever program is damaged needs to be uninstalled, then re-installed.
