Strange error

Post by YT300000 »

I routinely get this error popping up:

NT On Access Scanner Service has stopped working, blah, blah, blah, do you want to send an error report to Microsoft?

What the fuck is it? I don't recognize it from anywhere. But I can tell you what it is doing: freezing my games.

What should I do?

Did everything all the sublinks said. The error is gone, but my performance is still unnaturally slow. Usually I could play the Nightfire demo (the most graphically demanding thing I have) at full settings except for AAing, which is at 2x (max is 8x) and it would never lag. Now it freezes.

Hmm...
