i'd scan for spyware and viruses first off

google doesn't return any hits on the address you provided... i didn't check
it in a browser window tho. odd that an error appears as a web address

I checked the images you posted. Unfortunately, it's hard to say from
the little information you provided exactly what the issue is. My first
suggestion is to ensure the machine is 100% virus and malware-free.
Post back if you need help doing that. Here's a link to my general
malware removal steps for your convenience:

If the machine is clean, then it is always a good idea to look in Event
Viewer for any clues:

Start>Run eventvwr [enter]

Post back with results of the above if you need more help.
