Solve : winlogon.exe?

Answer»

Here is the issue:
I have my computer set up so after 10 minutes, my screen saver kicks in and my PROFILE automatically locks so a password is required to re-enter. Unfortunately a few minutes after the profile locks, this LITTLE error appears: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v179/ionicplasma/error.jpg

The instruction at "0x1000983d" referenced memory at "0x00000014". The memory could not be "read".
-for those who may want to copy/pase the error

Clicking either "OK" or "Cancel" will result in my computer rebooting. I've checked several forums and sites, but they weren't much help. They can't seem to state clearly if it's a virus or spyware or corrupted memory or what. As of now, I just push the error box off to the corner and my computer runs normally, but it would still be nice to get rid of it. Any help would be great, thanks!
-VinceWell let's look at several things then.

What HAPPENED prior to this? Any recent hardware or software updates? What SP is loaded? All updates to Windows installed? When did this start? Can you do a System Restore to a few days ago, if recent?

To check RAM, you can download Memtest at www.memtest86.com and run each stick for an hour or so, then all together.

What are you using for malware protection?

What is the EXACT wording of the error message?

REALLY a lot of information is required to get meaningful help.Did you mean www.memtest86.com?  I'll try that.  As for changes to the hardware/software, nothing.  It has been happening for a couple months now, but time has been sort of an issue lately and I have not had the chance to sit down and look into it.   Windows is updated weekly and I am on SP2.  I have McAfee security center to scan for viruses and for spyware I have Ad-Aware, Spybot and Windows Defender.

The exact wording of the message and a link to the screenshot of the message itself can be found in my first post, unless you are referring to something else.

Thanks!

Yes, I left out a 6.

I cannot read the screenshot message. Too SMALL. That's why I asked.It's cool, it looked kind of small on my end too but if you hover your cursor over the image for a few seconds (if you use mozilla) then it should give you the option to enlarge.

Also, I looked into my Windows Defender history, it appears that something called Virtumonde.C has repeatedly come up in my alerts.  It seems that Defender even removed it on 8/22/2006.  Amazing, my computer is capable of time travel...Virtumonde.c
