There has been much debate over the cause of the 0×0eedfade error, and many different scenarios have been reported where the error is seen.

Some users suffer from a module box error when closing Internet Explorer, others have noted instances where the error has disabled the operating system completely and forced a restart. Of course, restarting the computer might regain control temporarily, but when the error strikes again, you’re stuck in a vicious circle.

It’s generally perceived that the error is caused by malicious third party content such as spyware and adware. These redundant files do little or nothing to advance our experience on the computer, but they can cause a great deal of collisions in the way that the system operates.

The first port of call should be to rid your computer of any unsolicited third party content. Spyware is notorious for running in the background and avoiding detection by the naked eye. Yet it can reduce the performance of a system by a considerable margin. It also opens the computer to a new range of virus attacks.

However, spyware removal tools aren’t a foolproof solution. They can potentially damage what’s known as the Winsock stack, and this will lead to more problems and inevitably, more errors.

You can download special Winsock fix utilities which will repair the stack and, rather surprisingly, fix a lot of additional errors in the process. When combining it with a registry cleaner, you can weed out all of the corrupt files and reorganize your system so that any viruses or lingering spyware apps can be taken care of.

If a Winsock patch doesn’t get rid of the 0×0eedfade error, move on to the spyware removal software. There are plenty of free versions on the market and they take care of most third party content. We should stress that it’s extremely important to have sufficient anti-Virus protection on your system, at all times.

Viruses are capable of disabling Windows, particularly if you get one which attacks the boot sector. They also make the blue screen of death a recurring sight, and errors like the 0×0eedfade are known to arise from such infiltrations.

Even if you have a professional standard anti-Virus suite installed, don’t let that lure you in to a false sense of security. Some viruses are now so sophisticated that they can be designed to slip through the net of specific anti-Virus software. The best way to tackle this is to use two separate packages. With the combined technology, you should be able to sniff out all of the bad files.

There is no agreed explanation for when and where the 0×0eedfade error will appear. It is often seen as a third party error. A fault which appears after you’ve installed certain commercial packages (or uninstalled them rather). The most commonly documented problem is with Internet Explorer and an error which forces the system to restart. The toolbar is also disabled, which gives the distinct impression that it’s a virus at fault.

To avoid such problems, run regular scans of your hard drive. Keep a backup of the registry, and clean it once per month. Finally, be sure that you use proper anti-Virus protection when accessing the Internet. This should save you the headache and frustration of a blue screen and repeated 0×0eedfade errors!
