| 749891 | 2009-02-21 02:18:00 | Isn't Vista great for it's very informative error messages!! Got an error the other day on Vista Home "something really bad has happened, please contact your administrator". Now that tells me alot! Just interested if anyone else has received this error? The PC had a virus that kept shutting down services so maybe the error came from the virus but it looked a standard Vista error except for the wording. |

| 749892 | 2009-02-21 02:35:00 | Sounds like a virus to me. Is there any other info in the message apart from "something bad has happened"? | jwil1 (65) | ||
| 749893 | 2009-02-21 02:40:00 | Have you scanned the system since then? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 749895 | 2009-02-21 02:57:00 | Virus is gone, I got rid of that. I didn't need instructions on how to remove a virus, just if anyone had come acrros the error message before. The error was as I wrote it and appeared before I removed the virus. As the system was constantly shutting down services and restarting them just to be shutdown again I got the error. There was plenty of other error when each service was closing down and restarting. They were normal error messages. There was only the one I stated in original post that was wierd and wondered if anyone else had come across it. |
