That's McAfee buffer overflow protection kicking in. You need to update to sp2 and install all updates from Windows.

SP2 contains a lot of critical updates for systems especially those that connect to the internet. Infact a lot of the security firms advise the people to install Sp2 as soon as possible. Installing Sp2 and combining it with your AV and your anti-spyware tool should keep your system secure.
