Many "IE Error" Popups, Virus maybe?

[TheAwake]

Hi folks,
I often get small little error messages saying "IE Error". They only have an "OK" button, and after the first popped up, one they appear continuesly every second. If I wouldnt click them away, my whole screen would be covered by them after some time! I always have to click them away and most times they stop when I reached the first one.

I dont use the internet explorer at all, thats what makes me wonder a bit.
Could this be a Virus? Have you heard of anything like that?
I made a virus check, but found nothing at all...

his sounds like malware, non-virus, and your NAV did not see it.

Download and run in this order:

cwshredder *
SpyBot 1.2 *
AdAware *

* = Update the definition files within the program as the first step.

You may also want to download the utility located here:

Called disable/remove windows messanger
Run it and disable messanger. This will at least rule that out as a cause.
