I've been getting this error off and on, for a few months now, there seems to be
no way to predict when it will show up, sometimes it seems to lay dormant for long
periods of time, and not give me any trouble, then it acts up out of the blue, and
becomes quite a nuisance, but in my case, it seems to behave like a virus, it will
not just come up once - once it starts, it will repeat itself over and over again,
until my system freezes up completely, from being inundated with these identical
'pure virtual function call' error messages. Simultaneously, if I use ctrl-alt-delete
while this is going on, I will find there are numerous 'iexplore' programs showing
in this window, which repeat themselves 'ad-infinitum', if I dont reboot at that
time. (i have no idea what 'iexplore' is, and have been afraid to delete it, for
fear it might have something to do with my 'explorer' functions, I dont know a lot
about computers or how they work, so I have to be careful with such things..) Rebooting
seems to solve the problem, at least till the next time. I've been assuming it's
some kind of malicious virus, as it seems to be behaving very maliciously but havent
been able to isolate and identify it. Antivirus isnt telling me anything about it.
(I have a free antivirus program called 'Vexira', also downloaded from the internet.)
I have downloaded numerous 'free programs' from the internet, which I assume include
ad and spyware, which has included screensavers and email stationary, artistic cursors,
etc... (not willing to part with some of them, even knowing that they come with some
unwanted 'extras', as some of these entertain my grandchildren, and we're fairly
happy with the programs, themselves.)
Has anyone seen any indication of this actually being a result of a viral infection
or malicious code being used deliberately to disrupt systems, or perhaps a sign of
a hacker getting into your system? "Pure virtual function call' almost sounds to
me like someone is trying to take control of the computer....i.e. calling on the
computer to perform some kind of virtual function??
