Default blank errors

I am recieving error windows (white ones) with no text,
except for the close button. This happens randomly during
any program I use and I cannot find a solution to fix it.
I have Norton Systemworks installed and have contacted
them, and they told me to take it up with you. Nothing I
do seems to fix the problem. I have reinstalled all
programs, all drivers, everything. I REALLY need help,
because this is getting VERY annoying. I might even get
annoyed enough to switch to Linux...

Try Uninstalling all Norton Software - your computer will miraculously start
working faster and better than it has since the day you started using
Norton!

How do you know it's an error message if it's blank?

You may have a virus/spyware hijack

download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling
viruses are not present on your PC
http://download.nai.com/products/mca...rt/stinger.exe

- update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files.

Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the
CoolWebSearch hijacker.

Use CWShredder, the removal tool:

download AdAware from www.lavasoftusa.com, install, update, and run it to
remove spyware, adware,
and other such nasties from your system.
