What happens then? Any problems with using the system?

That error message is not one that is well known in Google. In fact your post here is the only one I can find that quotes the error.

That's good, so since neither of us have found anything relating to this, some general questions please;

1] What are your system specs, eg make and model computer?

2] What anti-virus and anti-malware utilities/scanners do you use?

3] how many User Accounts do you have? These are both Admin capable accounts and Limited user accounts.
