Default memmory errors

After cleaning up after a case of worm.win32.netbooster aka smithxxx, I now
find that I get and error "instruction @ 0x000....... referenced memory @
0x0000...." could not be read. Attached are two screen shots. I've been
running AVG 8.X +FW, which seems to have missed a lot. Spent whole weekend
using every AVG trick available. I switched to Spybot's S&D. Oh my God! Is
AVG really that bad? I got pages of errors. Cleaned up most, but still get
mem @addr errors for start-up programs.(Logi_Mwx (Marble mouse), BJMyPrt.exe
(Canon multi-function), AvgDiag(v-scan). However Office '08, PM7, 1Click,
Acroread, seem to run fine.

XP/Sp3 (Installed SP3 hoping it might help)
Athlon XP 1.6
1G RAM
250 Seagate Barracuda
Asus A7N8X-VM/400(n-Force stuff)


What am I missing??????

Bad RAM can cause this error.
AVG and Spybot check different things. If you are getting "pages of
errors", you should run Spybot more often.

You may simply have a bad stick of ram memory,its fairly simple to check
being that thier seated properly.Download & install the memory tester to a
MS-DOS formatted floppy (may run off a cd also),get
at:http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp

AVG 8.0 does not co-habit with Spybot or Adaware. It is on the AVG website
somewhere..

Quit using SpyBot and Adaware in favour of Windows Defender (which you
should have installed anyway), or use a different AV solution..
