    Hi guys

    I keep getting this error message whenever i try running most programs.
    Normally i just click cancel and it goes away and the program runs.

    But some spywhere got into my PC and i downloaded Spybot S&D to try get it out.. But when i run spybot the message keeps coming back every second

    I was able to put up with it before but I have to run spybot cos i keep getting pop ups ...

    Image attached.. Any idea why i'm getting this.

    As i said it happens when starting most programs


    Added stuff ::: Randomly the windows i have open will jump from 1 to the other.. as if i was selecting them. I cant set a home page !! and i caned check task manager because it says it's been disabled by administrator !! But i am the admin ! real annoying!! getting Ad-aware now to see if that will work

    pity we're not psychic

    disconnect your pc from the internet
    run spybot in safe mode


    50:50 this is legit - if you have these games. If not...
    pnkbstra.exe is a process. This is usually installed with latest games like Battlefield 2142 and America's Army. This is usually detected as malware but if removed will effect the games installed especially when online.


    The error message is similar to that you get when you unplug a memory card or removable drive,
    reboot and go into my computer and disconect any drives not attached and reboot again to see if goes away - if not then I may move to malware

    yeah I've seen sort of similiar messages when an iPod is plugged into a PC.
    Like the previous poster said, disconnect any removable drivers, printers with USB card readers, etc..

    Yes Pnkbstra (Punkbuster) is for COD4 and other games.

    I do have a 7-1 card reader that has been acting up, Like working some days and others not. Could it be that? It's about 4 or 5 years old at this stage, It's installed into the PC.. Conntected to the Motherboard. I've nearly sure its connected to a USB post on the board,

    I also have an External Hard Drive as well it's only new tho.
