Exec Error Message
After disconnecting from my ISP, I frequently get an Exec
error message box, which reads- Exec ! Exec has caused an error in User.Exec. Exec will now close Close If you continue to experience problems, try restarting your computer. However, when I get this error message, I cannot close the message box, and my computer will not respond at all. The only way I can even shut down the computer is to push the power button on the computer. Please help? |

If you don't have a spyware removal program, you can download a free program, Ad-Aware at www.lavasoftusa.com. After you install the program, first click on Check for Updates, then scan your system and remove any spyware it detects. You will find it useful to right click on any of the check boxes on the results screen and choose Select All Objects so that you don't have to put checks in all the boxes. Hit next or finish to remove your spyware and repeat the scan over and over until a scan produces zero results. If you find that there are a stubborn few that won't remove, then post a notice at www.lavasoftsupport.com and someone will gladly help you remove them. Also, be sure and click on Check For Updates each new day that you scan as updates are posted very often and if you don't, you will not be able to remove newlly discovered spyware. You should also delete your Temporary Internet Files. To do this, in Internet Explorer, click on Tools, Internet Options, Delete Files. And you want to delete your Windows temporary files. To do this, you need to first make sure My Computer is set to show hidden files and folders. Click on Tools, Folder Options, View, and put a check by Show Hidden Files and Folders. Hit OK and close. Then browse to c:\windows\documents and settings\username\local settings, temp and then delete all files. You should do this immediately after booting up as otherwise you will likely get errors. After deleting these files, immediately empty your recycle bin. Good Luck |
