    So my work computer is giving me this issue every couple minutes the command prompt will pop up and than an error message saying

    C:\DOCUME~\ADMINI~1\ddaqaey1.exe
    The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.
    CS:0536 IP:024c OP:ff de 01 36 05 Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

    if i hit close it goes away for a few minutes but it will come back. If i step away from the computer for a few minutes it will come back and it will come up with the same error about 10 times so i have to hit close a buch of times till it goes away. I've ran norton and spybot to no avail and if i go in and delete the file it just comes back or a file with the same name but a different number. any suggestions would be great as my boss is being gay and won't get a IT guy to look at it.

    Its an old Dell running Win XP (sorry i don't know more about it i only have to use it for like 30 min a day and my boss doesn't let me mess with it very much)

    Unusual file name, I found this associated with it;

    I think you should run the scans in the READ AND RUN ME FIRST sticky in the malware forums. The sooner you take care of it, the easier it'll be. :wave:wave

    But, I just read your post again. This is going to take a lot longer than 30 minutes!

    Give it to the boss. Tell him you think it is infected and let the IT staff at work disinfect it.

    The boss, who probably uses it more than 1/2 hour a day maybe is responsible for the infection. ;) So it should be his headache.
