| 765176 | 2009-04-15 04:48:00 | From time to time, on booting Windows xp pro sp2, I get a notice from "Springfield Alarm Scanner" stating that "ADVSVR.exe did not set up a shared memory buffer". This has been happening for a a year or so now. Windows works well with no problems. I have scanned with Spy-bot, Adaware, Comodo, AVG8, Avast, Avir and found nothing. Also used Crap Cleaner & Reg Cure. It seems to be harmless but where is it coming from? |

| 765177 | 2009-04-15 04:53:00 | How many on access scanners do you have? From that list it seems like you have 4! Keep 1 AV only, as they can conflict and slow the down the PC greatly as well as cause many problems And I would stick with CCleaner only, reg cure does more harm than the fixes it claims. You also have lots of Antiviruses but no Antispyware programs. Get SUPERAntiSpyware or SpywareTerminator and scan. Back to your problem...a google search reveals nothing but from the name of the process it sounds like adware. Post a HijackThis log here, and disable system restore. Blam |
