Direct OCR error message

[Santuzzo]

I got the following error message today : a direct ocr error caused a memory problem. please reboot windows.

Anybody know what this is about?
I don't even know what direct ocr is

Thanks,

what actions were you performing just before the error occurred?

ocr is usually short for object character recognition. the computer scans a document and tries to create a typed document (text file).

I was running an online virus scan. And I tihnk at the same time I scanned one file with MalwareBytes which then created a text document indeed.

After I got that message, I closed averytihng and rebooted, and everything was fine.

Is this something I need to worry about? How did this problem come about?
