I've had this flash up a couple of times on start-up

A bit of googling doesn't seem to show anything that I can make sense of. Any ideas about what is going on and what to do about it? Windows XP, fairly old PC.

Ah yes.. could well be a biggie.. haven't time to search but it looks like some kind of extraneous bit of stuff you might need that can be hijacked by bad malware.

Take the recommended action and see what happens.

Sometimes it freezes the PC at this point and needs a forced re-boot, If I run it in the sandbox (as suggested by Avast) the PC seems to run fine. Its only occasionally, though.

I would go into 'programs and features' and see what looks like it's related to 'sentinel' something, and uninstall or disable it.
