Hey, was wondering what the devil was taking the virus scan so long. Interesting file structure, eh? :D Normally takes 15 minutes. Left it overnight and it was still going this am. Defiantely something cooked somewhere. Restarted it and it worked fine the next time.

This error I have recieved about three times in my life, and last night when I was shutting down my pc, it came up... I couldn't do anything on my pc, and I knew if I clicked "close message" I would lose it. So I just pressed MS's holy trinity of keys, and ran MSPaint, and was able to manouvre the stuff around and save it.

I was hosing myself!!!! Bwaaaahahahaha!!!

the source file is duff.... the size declared on request and that actually on disc differ...

I get this a lot with AVG... the problem, i suspect, lies in the protocol being used not receiving a terminator bit in the order expected... whereas tcp/ip reassembles the frames in order, i have seen the avg data stream sans terminator... it just keeps dumping, uhh..., cow patties into the file...

still good for a laugh though... :)

You should download Windows Media Player 10. Since I started sing that, I have only seen this error once.
