Er, is this bad?

My laptop crashed on bootup recently. (It does this; I sent it back for warranty repairs, and it returned with a few things checked off on the list of possible things to be repaired, and also "MYLAR" was written into the "Other" slot and checked. Weird.)

The error message that it provided was, essentially, a "can't find the requested proceedure" error. For something called "ntTarminatEProceSs".

Yes, spelled and capitalized like that. Not "ntTerminateProcess", which is all I could find on the web. Any idea what was up with that?

Yep, virus, trojan, or other nefarious attacks. Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.
