Maybe you have a virus. Get this free antivirus scanner and see if it finds anything new.
AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition

Try to do an online scan with Kaspersky, and if it finds any bad files, download the trial. Kaspersky is a great Anti-Virus.

Kaspersky's Website

What is the fake LW message?

ladyvel November 25th, 2007 05:19 AM

the message is_this is lw.the official website.lw has encountered an internal error.it is possible for lw to recover and continue running normally to aid with debugging.please click"send to notify lw about the problem click"review to look at the information that will be sent thank you. always send immedially_always ask for a review_alwaysdiscard all errors. send. review. discard.this is the message i have had before and i pressed yes and it broke my harddrive so now i just press the cross at the top to delete it cause that the only time it will go away but whatever your download rate is , that halves it.the other bug or whatever it is corrupts each files and when that happens the bars in the bottom corner goes to red and then goes back to nornal again thats when you know it has happened hope i have explianed it so you can understand like i said i dont know much about pc thanks for you time.
