I just run a virus scan and it found 4 files called NotAVirus.adware although I did notice it ended .win32 (this could be to deter people from removing it?). I decided to just run the recommended setting of deleting them and then automatically run a clean up afterwards. I attempted to access my internet using Netgear wireless smart wizard and it said it was unable to run the task, I attempted to connect through my network and sharing center and it said the page file was missing then windows posted a bad image message.

My computer is pretty new (about 3 months). I've restarted and everything seems to be fine now. Has anybody got any ideas what could of caused this? A cache error?

I'm running windows Ultimate 64 bit and my hardware specs are...

GPU: Evga Geforce GTS 450 (Recently updated to driver 304.48, I had stability issues with 301.42)
CPU: Intel i5 2400
Motherboard: MSI P67A-G45 (B3)
Ram: 4x2gb Corsair XMS3 @ 1600mhz "XMP"
HDD: WD Caviar Green WD7500AARX 750gb
PSU: Corsair TX 650

I've been running for 3 hours now and havn't experienced any peculiar activity. Do you think this could of just been a minor error? (like a corrupted memory/cache error?). everything that appeared to be broken works. When I attempted to access the task manager during the error that also didn't work. But everything seems to be fine now.

Also something to note... the same day I experienced a weird symptom where my transparent window boarders and task bar switched to solid gray. I attempted to change it back in my settings but that didn't work until I automatically switched back to the transparent boarders... I assumed this was graphics driver related (considering I had Problems with the previous 301.42 nvidia drivers crashing)
