Cache Clenear error occasionally popping up

I have: |Win XP |Office 2003 |AOL |asstd. other programs

The computer is one of three in the office - all showing same error. The pop-up is quite random as to when it pop-ups so I can't blame any one program.

The error reads like this: <TITLE> Cache Cleaner  |  Cache Cleaner has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

It then starts all the 'Send Error Report' / 'Don't Send' Microsoft jiberish.

What is interesting is the pop-up shows a barcord type image in the top right of the pop-up windows, just below the title bar in the same line with the sentence I mentioned above ("Cache Cleaner has encountered....etc.).

Please help.

Once you have completed please Goto Run>Type Msconfig>Start up tab > Clear all the unwanted programs that is running and once you have done that please check if you are getting same message.

It sounds to me like you have a spyware infection.  I would go to www.lavasoftusa.com and download adaware se personal, run a scan on that computer and see if it finds anything.
I am with lukeca. If there are any graphical differences in your "Has encountered a problem and needs to close" windows and the window in the link othere than the obvious Xp Style / Standard style windows differences then it is probably a clever Ruse.

You need to scan with something everyone has there flavor and mine is ewido found here:
http://downloads.grisoft.cz/softw/70/filedir/inst/avgas-setup-7.5.0.50.exe
it could be an addon of internet explorer.
Assuming tha you have windows xp sp2. from an internet explorer go to tools -> manage addons. uninstall or disable anything suspicious.
Kindly uninstall the free ware software cache cleaner installed on your system.
