Error message - msbb.exe
Your system has parasites.
MSBB.EXE MSBB.EXE is spyware that's been installed and through an entry in the registry is launched each time you boot Win Me. A number of sites will dump msbb.exe on your system and the program is used to display random pop-up ads on your desktop. See MS KB317714 - "Error Message: "Msbb.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close..."" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=317714) for how to rid yourself of this junk. This would be a good time to download yourself a copy of the free Ad-Aware 6.0 from Lavasoft (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and also SpyBot Search & Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and use them to check your system for other commercial parasites remembering that they are only as good as when you last updated their reference files. I also use a program called BHODemon (http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm that checks for unwanted Browser Help Objects and SpywareBlaster (http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareblaster.html) which can help prevent some parasites getting a grip on your PC. Then finally there is CWShredder (http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip or http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip) which is the best way of getting rid of the many forms of the CoolWebSearch hijacker details of which can be found at http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html and also http://www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/c/cws.asp. --?
