    So you don't have any anti-virus software running ?
    If not go to www.grisoft.com and download their free one.

    What does the error report say exactly ?

    i have norton but i rarely use it. oops

    anyway, i connected to the net with a firewall program running, and it said a file called MSprot32(or something) was trying to access the computer. i selected to block it from now on, so hopefully it will be gone for good. thanks replying anyway.

    Yawn - nearly half of all KAZZA downloads have viruses or are borked in some way.

    There are about 20 dial home apps/services in XP - use XPANTISPY to disable a lot of them - also look up the stickies for spywareblasters etc. - they aren't viruses as such but you don't want them on your system either.
