    Greetings and thanks for the availability. Sometimes when I get online I get a message from my firewall that says NTVDM.EXE is trying to connect with (I forget the address), do you want this to proceed? I've located this NTVDM.EXE as a prefetch in Windows\System32. (WIN XP Pro OS) Anyone got an idea of what this is? I tried tracing the address once before and came up empty. At least vague. Thanks for the attention.

    Hi watsthis, Please download the following utility.

    Windows XP Prefetch Clean And Control

    After you have downloaded this utility, run it. This will clean your prefecth folder and should take care of your problem.

    Thanks Bj:)
