Message from Sun's Java

A few days ago as I was about to shut my PC down, I noticed an unexpected file with the name "hs_err_pid3600.log" on my Desktop. After scanning with NAV, I opened it and found the following text (sorry about the length)

"An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.

Today I got a similar file on my desktop with a slightly different name "hs_err_pid3232.log ". Here are just the first few lines.

Can anyone tell me what this is about and what, if anything, I should do about it?

 

Hi Jim, found a whole bunch of stuff on Sun Java's site by doing a search for "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) occurred" at: This URL
