My PC greeted me this morning with the follwing message



What does it mean and should I be concerned?

I'm on windows XP with AVG antivirus and Zone Alarm firewall

When did this error occur?.

Have you tried to reboot your PC since this has happened to see if it re-occurs?.

I went to bed last night leaving PC switched on but no programmes except Zone aAlarm running.
When I got up this morning, that message was on screen

It just appears to be a memory read/write error, give the PC a reboot and see if the problem returns.

Thanks Lee.

I was concerned that I might have ben hacked.

Scheduled.exe isn't part of XP. Find where the file is on the disk, maybe that will give you a hint as to what application it is part of. Otherwise just Google Scheduled.exe and see whether any of the hits mention any of the applications you have installed.

You are correct but it is a very common name for apps for some reason.

If you are worried, I would recommend downloading the trial version of SpySweeper from www.webroot.com

It doesn't remove the spyware in the trial version but it does identify it.
