fatal error can not create process

Kernel32.dll handles the memory functions in Windows. My first reaction would be instead of trying to run a spyware remover, update your virus definitions and run your virus-checker. If that comes up clean, copy your fatal error and Google it. It is possible that a service was stopped. If Google gives you a service to check, you can look at it by right-clicking on My Computer > Manage > Services and Applications > double-click Services. Check to see if the service has to be started or stopped and restarted. Hope this helps.

If you have Ad-aware. Spybot downloaded on your sytem,
Try running the scan from each in Safe mode.
Trouble with notepad possible virus, As cp said update your AV and run a full system scan, You should probably start with a full AV scan in safe mode.
You could go here http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/c.bennett03/moboswindowclinic.html and download CWS, You may also want to download CWS Smartkiller, If the programs still are not running,

I don't know if this will help, but our computer support tech said that Spyhunter actually leaves spyware. We currently just use Ad-Aware 6.0 along with Norton or PCcillin

I had a keylogger running who stopped AdAware with the message you described. After stopping the keylogger the problem was solved.

I am have the same problem but only adaware is affected. How do you stop the keylogger???

I had the very same problem, try to setup adaware and it shutdown with fatal error. Try to update spybot and no updates. Try to navigate in explorer to the spybot directory and explorer shutdown.

The answer was 007 Spy Software was running and it
does not like the fact you want to scan for it.
If its running in stealth mode press CTRL + ALT + 7, this should load the console. Also look for the directory c:\program files\system32
The app is svchost.exe look for this.

Hope that helps,
Roger.

I have the smae problem with Spybot but not wordpad. I uninstalled, reinstalled, no help. I need to fix this!
