16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem pop-up
Well today I was putting in Windows 7 Home Premium in my 2nd hard drive. Been setting things up, adobe flash player, install firefox, etc. but when I left my room and I come back, I got this weird cmd.exe in my background but showed up with a pop up saying this...
Title bar: 16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem
"C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe
The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.
CS:0de8 IP:011d OP:65 2e 63 6f 6d Choose 'Close' to terminate the application."
So I click Close. Nothing seems to happen... but what I remember, I was using the Yahoo! CA Anti-Spy program and allowed the hijacker but I thought it was a false positive... it something like start.jk.swa or something I can't remember at all. So there it went, then I got that message above in the quotation. Well I went back to the program, and look in the allowed windows, and remove it. Then I try to rescan it again, it never come back up. :/ Oh well, hope nothing happens.
My cousin helped me to search... I type in the whole thing in google, nothing shows up but he found this...
...and its saying like I might have malware instructed. it also said something about win. xp, and nope I don't have win xp anywhere. No program are set as xp compatibility. So, any idea anyone?HTML Code:http://forums.techguy.org/windows-xp/465214-solved-ntvdm-cpu-error.html
Btw, it popped back up again, so idk if it would be continuous.
So my cousin told me that I can't run 16-bit program on win. 7. That... make me think of PhotoShop3, they use a 16-bit mode. I remember using it in the Win. 7 R.C. Beta mode, no problem, even tho the 16-bit does shows up in the task manager.
-Edited-
I restarted my computer, I don't see it come back up again. Might be some application or program that got hung up. But if i seen it pop up again, I will let you all know.
