Thanks for the reply. The info posted is from the event viewer. The error is happening constantly. I will try the sfc when I get home tomorrow.

When do you get this error? Are you actually using Power Shell? Have any scripts running? Happens at boot? Randomly? Anything common to when it happens? A Guy

 

[rstandi]

It's random and pops up all the time. Mostly notice it when using Internet explorer.

I'll post to our gurus, but I'd run some scans to check for malware, or virus. They can often use powershell to run scripts.
