MemberI take it that you have installed the software and now starting a search and got that error? Have you closed all programs and rebooted? If not try it and lets go from there.
Access Violations can be caused by several things. I'm not familiar with this program or any other that does the same thing. Maybe somebody else will kick in here when they read the post.

That particular error message is of use really only to the programmers of NWFSearch.exe.
With this information they could be able to determine where in their program it is crashing. It doesn't really tell you (the user) anything much except NWFSeach has crashed.

on the topic on software... is there a way to removed the ads from Live Mesenger- sth about altering the DLL files (i heard). con mine has the irritating ads and takes up abit of my broadband bandwith. i've taken a snapshot of it.

Either of the following can patch messenger to not display the ads.
Mess Patch - http://www.mess.be/
A-Patch - http://apatch.org/An even better solution (although not free-about US$25) is Ad Muncher which will stop basically any program from downloading ads from the internet (eg. browsers, p2p, messenger, adware).

I was chatting to one of the support staff for AdMuncher who has been writing filters to block internet ads for over 5 years. I asked him what was the main differences between Ad Muncher and privoxy and proxomitron.
His response was:
Ad Muncher doesn't support regexp (Regular Expressions) yet.
But Ad Muncher comes with a far more extensive default filter set that is perfect for 99.9% of the users out there looking to block ads and popups and interstitials.
The other 0.1% still need proxomitron or privoxy.Eventually Ad Muncher will equal and then pass proxomitron in every respect including the ability to import proxomitron filters.
Some ppl were born to tinker but most ppl don't want to reinvent the wheel every time they need a simple ad or popup blocked.
proxo is a lot harder to use than Ad Muncher since Ad Muncher works out of the box and integrates with most browsers and has a powerful yet simple filter category list
Ad Muncher does it instantly as soon as you install it since it transparently filters applications.
Proxomitron and privoxy need you to set proxy settings in each application you want filtered and if the app does not have the ability to set such settings then you can't filter them with proxo
Ad Muncher can filter ANY app that uses HTTP to communicate plus if you close proxo you have to change the settings back.
Closing Ad Muncher requires no action by the user - the previous filtered programs continue to work.
You can change whether a program gets filtered or not by Ad Muncher on the fly.
We plan on increasing this ability even more by allowing PER process filters so a new entry you create can apply only to specific apps.
I like the way Ad Muncher works - I just installed it, and I no longer had advertisements displayed on any web pages. I didn't actually have to do anything extra.
Why not just install a trial of Ad Muncher and post back here what you think.

Thanks, but no thanks - the claims are a good portion unfounded. I haven't done many modifications to Proxomitron since I've gotten it (and very few were necessary). I'm glad to know Ad Muncher will grow, but I still wonder about it's features: He says it integrates with browsers. I don't like that, because it limits what I can do with it - and, looking at the download page, it also limits what operating systems I can use it with. Sure, I could use Wine with Proxomitron (if I really wanted to - I could just use Privoxy), but can I do that Ad Muncher but use a linux-native Firefox?
Another advantage is that I can offer the filters to not only other programs, but other people too, as well as myself from other locations when usage of Ad Muncher isn't an option.Some ppl were born to tinker but most ppl don't want to reinvent the wheel every time they need a simple ad or popup blocked.
It's not re-inventing the wheel if you're just adding a site, or even adding a custom filter. It's just not. Sadly, I don't see anything on their site about header filtering, header mangling nor by-header or by-location rules (such as closing the connection on a certain response, or stopping a connection to a particular URL type); This is why I still cling to Proxomitron. I've yet to convert it's rules to Privoxy (but once I do, they'll be shared) but as I understand it, it does support this. Most other ad filters don't and I do need this feature.
Ad Muncher can filter ANY app that uses HTTP to communicate
I can only assume this is by interception, and probably only of port 80 outgoing. Yeah... no. Most programs that communicate via HTTP support proxies; If this doesn't support being used as a proxy, it's just as bad as him saying that it's bad that Proxo/Privoxy requires to be set as proxies.
Did I mention shared settings?The weakest, though, is this:
plus if you close proxo you have to change the settings back.
Closing Ad Muncher requires no action by the user - the previous filtered programs continue to work.
Please: Clicking "save" after doing changes is NOT that hard. (And that's only if you add, edit or enable/disable a filter, not if you add/remove sites and expressions. This is so you can test configurations and not have them be persistent.)
I'm going to pass on this for now.
