I get the following error message:
"The instruction at "0x0***454d" referenced memory at "0x0***454d".
The memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the program."
"***" is any set of three numbers or numbers plus letters They are always the same in the two instances in the sentence, but are different each time the message appears.
Examples: "0x05f8454d"
"0x0697454d"
"0x05fa454d"
"0x0680454d"
"0x0666454d"
"0x067a454d"
"OxO6a2454d"
"0x0633454d"
The common factor appears to be using Yahoo on Internet Explorer. Most of the time but not all, I have had Microsoft WORD open. I believe, but am not positive, that I must compose an e-mail on Yahoo, not simply read an e-mail, for the error to occur.
The error message appears after I close all programs.
Now all I have to do is click "OK" and the message dissappears, so it is not causing a
major problem. Still, I'd like to avoid seeing it altogether.
Anyone have any ideas why this message appears and what I can do to avoid it?
Frank: I right-clicked the IE desktop icon. There were several options, but no "Start Without Add-ons". I also followed: Start | All Programs | Accessories | System Tools | but found no Internet Explorer option. Is there any other way to do this?
I do try to keep the computer clean and run several malware detection/removal problems fairly often.
Windows XP Media Center (SP2 included).
Intel Core 2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13 GHz
1.99 GB of RAM
mikeyhsd: It's a pretty new computer and I hope the memory isn't failing. Why would it happen with only one website?

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing Messenger Plus, whose ads for malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince you that you owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure of.
