When I browse the internet, I always get errors
referencing my sysacc.exe, and not being able to write
the memory.

I go to the task manager, and the sysacc.exe is top of
the list. Does anyone know what my problem is?
 
Thank you for your response. I believe that I have some
sort of virus or worm or trojan horse type thing.

When I browse the internet, my explorer will just freeze
up. I will bring up the task manager, and go to
processes, and the process at the top is "sysacc.exe" I
terminate this process, and then the Internet Explorer
works fine again for a couple minutes.

Once in a while, I get an error about the memory can't be
written and then some numbers like 000000. I also cannot
find any reference to anything on the net.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.
 
Well Peter, I've not seen any other references to that item other than that
which I found through Google. I asked you if that was the correct and full
name of the item in question. I will presume* it is, as you wouldn't make an
error regarding it twice would you? That distinction is in my province
alone. "He who falls over same rock twice, deserves to break his shin" <g>

So, the behavior of the PC seems erratic or poor at best. This item
sysacc.exe shows up in the task manager. Have you done a Find>Files and
Folders on your PC to see if it is there? Make sure in *Folder options*
(path varies according to OS in question) you have Show All Files checked,
as it could be hidden (?). Unlikely, but who knows. As a rule I always have
show all files, as I am not clumsy enough to go and delete hidden or system
files.

Now, you should do a full scan of your system, and I mean *full*. My usual
drill follows:
