Unhandled Exception c0000005

Here is the message I receive at start up.

'Unhandled Exception c0000005
At address 100016b8'

then when I close that message the following message is received

'Pgmonitr has caused an error PGSDK.DLL
If you continue to experience problems try restarting your computer'

These messages have only started occurring over the last week or so. I am
unaware of any changes but my children may have done something. Who Knows.

Many thanks

PGMonitr.exe

Background task for the PromulGate line of advertising products from The Delfin
Project. This is what we call adware. Worse, this is some of the worst type of
adware there is ? it is directly responsible for incredibly slow PCs, "unhandled
exception" errors on boot-up on Windows 2000/XP PCs, illegal operations on
boot-up on Windows 9x/ME PCs, interference with your Internet connection, and
more. This is TerribleWare ! PGMONITR is, in most cases that we have seen,
installed by Kazaa.

Recommendation :
Get rid of it straight away. De-install any Delfin or PromulGate product listed
in "Add/Remove Programs" in the Control Panel (e.g. Delfin Media Viewer), or,
alternatively, download and install "Spybot Search & Destroy" from our Downloads
section, click on "Online" to update it, and then run it to rid your PC of
spyware and adware such as PGMONITR.

If your have Kazaa installed, this utility will wipe it out completely.

Clean up the rest with SpyBot Search & Destroy.

I'm wondering if you have received a response to your
inquiry. I am receiving the same message at start-up but
this has been happening for longer than a week. Again I
have kids who spend a lot of time on the web and also aol
instant messenger.

Thanks for your help.
