The application failed to initialize properly - 0xc0000005

Hi all,
I'm having problems running some software that until recently ran fine.
I'll accept it may be due to a virus, though I'm running two antivirus
programs, a software firewall and the hardware firewall in my D-Link adsl
router.
For example, Microsoft Reader brings up a dialog box with the above error:
"The application failed to initialize properly - 0xc0000005", along with a
requirement to click OK twice. A google search shows many people are
reporting a similar problem with a wide variety of programs, but I haven't
seen a solution yet.
Another program that stopped working for me was The Bourse (share charting
program), and while I don't get an error message, it is the failure to load
the pervasive database used by the Bourse that seems to be the problem.
Most other software that I use regularly still works as it used to.
I've noted some unusual activity in taskmanager - eg, the Microsoft
antispyware (GIANTAntiSpywareMain) program is sometimes listed multiple
times.
I'm running Windows XP home, and have installed all of the security updates
except SP2.
All comments welcome.![:)]( ":)")
Cheers,
Brian

...I almost forgot!
I've also been having problems with my ADSL connection, but this may be a
modem problem rather than an Explorer problem.
Occassionaly I will find that Internet Explorer will lose access to the
internet through my D-Link DSL-G604T, even though IRC and yahoo messenger etc
are still working. I've found that rebooting the D-Link clears the problem,
but I'd prefer not to have to keep doing that.
