2 questions C++ libary...... buffer overrun

Hi

The first problem I have is when I run a viruis scan. I contacted EZ ANTI VIRUS and the company said that this problem is a MICROSOFT problem because I ran a scan in the safe mode and everthing was ok. 1st problem is when I run a scan 1/2 way into the scan I recieve a error message:::: MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ RUNTIME LIBARY BUFFER OVERRUN DETECTED!!! Program: ocume:~1owner/local~/temp/pfte.temp/set up.exe Buffer over run has been detected which has corruptedbthe prograns internal state. The program can not saftely continue execution and must now terminate.

2nd problem is when I try to shut down the computer I receive this message. The error message pops up several times before I can shut down... I explore.exe application error "The instructions at "0x02412475"referenced memory at "0x024423c4" The memory could not be "read". Click on ok to terminate the program.

I AM CLUELESS ON THESE PROBLEMS. ARE THEY LINKED TO A COMMON PROBLEM? PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN WITH ONE PROBLEM OR BOTH.. THANK YOU KINDLY. P.S. IF YOU CAN PLEASE EXPLAIN IN EASY TERMS BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW THE COMPUTER LINGO AND I AM MOSTLY A BEGINNER COMPUTER USER.... THANKS...
