For the past few days I've been getting this Windows pop-up error message on my home pc:
“Wtoolsa” followed by the text “this program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. If the problem persists call the vendor”
If I select the DETAILS icon, I get:
WTOOLSA caused an invalid page fault in
module KERNEL32.DLL at 0187:bff76723.
Registers:
EAX=00443b6a CS=0187 EIP=bff76723 EFLGS=00010212
EBX=0190fae4 SS=018f ESP=0180ff7c EBP=0181004c
ECX=01810064 DS=018f ESI=8173cfd0 FS=3e1f
EDX=018100c0 ES=018f EDI=018101b4 GS=0000
Bytes at CS:EIP:
ff 75 fc 9d 57 8d bd 30 ff ff ff 6a 04 55 57 e8
Stack dump:
I can shut the message down, but a few seconds later it pops up again. I did an online search on the text “Toolsa windows error message” and came up with a bunch of info, but it’s all beyond my level of pc expertise. Looks like a common suggestion is to run Spybot software. Has anyone run into this situation before, or have any advice here? Keep in mind that my pc trouble shooting skills are limited.
