Okay, so today I opened up my internet explorer browser and it popped up an unusual message before it loaded up the homepage that i have never seen before. It was titled MViz, and the message read: Could not create file mapping object (5)." I would x out the message and it would load up the designated home page as normal. Then, I opened a new tab and it said the message again, I x it out, and I can use it. But then, it I have at least two tabs open, it won't pop up the message. Weird. I don't know what this message is about. I googled it and one site linked it to a possible virus. I ran a quickscan with MBAM, and it picked up nothing. So, I came here to be safe into checking out what it is and if it is malware, then get help before this problem progresses. Please let me know what the deal is behind this message and the precautions to take for this. Thanks.
Operating system: Windows 7 (home) 64-bit
*note* the message doesnt come up when I run the firefox web browser.
