Hello there,
I ran a Spybot Search and Destroy scan and got the following message:
"Error during check!
Virtumode.sdn[28109 - $B67DAE58] (Invalid pointer operation)".
with a red cross next to it.
It also said "no immediate threats found".
Do you know why this has happened and if I need to be concerned about this ?
Many thanks Spybot ! :)

Can you try uninstall Spybot and then perform a reinstallation with a fresh copy from SaferNetworking Servers:

Sure, no problem and thanks.
Actually before I do, I should have mentioned that since I first posted, I've run a couple of scans since and the error doesn't arise - run clean no problem.
Sorry about that !
By the way, may I ask, should I be worried about windows processes running ?
i.e. is it possible windows might track me themselves or pass over my information to potential 3rd parties ?
I also got a remnant cookie before from "msnportal"(now removed) - I wonder if this related to my hotmail account.
Should I be possibly concerned about any of this ?
I don't trust anyone these days, especialy governments or privately related institutions.
Many thanks for your help.

I guess this query is resolved then because you are no longer receiving the problem you originally reported. Have a good day.

Yes - I think that's a fair assessment.
Suppose I brought up a lot of other issues since the first one, but I guess I'm happy enough that there's nothing to worry about too much(I'll have to hope so anyway)
Thanks for all your help & have a good day too.
