Sounds like u've got malware of some description.
What security software do you run, as in firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-trojan and rootkit scanners?

check ur virtual memory. photoshop takes a lot of ram to run and if u dont have the ram to support it, itll use up ur virtual ram.

Also Viruses isnt a word its Virii

As Well as Hijack this, I would do a Spybot S&D scan.

Despite the false message, there could be an element of truth in it.worth however checking your resources.

Open task manager when the message appears.. Look in the performance tab at the top. How much memory is being used and how much is available..

You say you have system crash.. what is the crash? a lock up.. a complete degeneration of performance as in unusable.. or BSOD or just complete reset.

Would be worth knowing, your spec i.e RAM and your protection

I hope your issue is now sorted, again like with Fazz your difficult to understand.

Sounds like you got a ropey download there!!! :?

If it persists by the way let us know, I know Chantelle at least can do a lot in working out where a BSOD is at least coming from..
