Trying to run a scan on my wife's PC at home (XP Pro SP3) using VipreRescue,
I get an error something about "unable to execute instruction." Sorry, it's
a long address string and I didn't write it down. This happens both in
"regular" mode and in safe-mode with command-prompt-only. Any idea what's
going on? A MalwareBytes scan didn't find anything (at least in "regular"
mode - have not tried "safe mode" yet.)

The reason I tried this was because the system has been behaving "flaky"
lately.nothing really to put my finger on. My wife almost installed
MyWebSearch this weekend, so she could play some old-style "arcade" games
(PacMan, Galaga, etc) but I pointed out to her that she really didn't want
that stuff. Anyway, between that "near miss" and the flakiness of the
system, I thought I'd check for malware.

 

I've already checked the C: drive using SMART tools, and although it's an
older drive, it appears to have no issues. Guess I ought to run a scandisk,
just to be safe.
