[vox-tech] Disturbing XP Error Message

[Alex Mandel]

You can check for open sessions by right-clicking on "my 
computer"->manage (Can also be found in the control panel)
Then expand "Shared Folders"->Sessions

If you can't seem to find any users logged on, it won't hurt to run 
SpyBot and Ad-aware to clean up the machine, this should be standard 
practice on any windows machine that uses the internet.
