NDStray.exe - Application Error on Satellite A305-S6916

Question

Recently, I have begun to experience an error when I first boot my computer:
NDStray.exe - Application Error
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000006). Click OK to terminate the application
or
The exception unkown software exception (0xc0000005) occured in the application at location 0x0022ab4. Click OK to terminate the application.
When I click okay, everything seems to run normally with two exceptions:
1. My network icon shows that I am disconnected from any wireless networks, but I am able to browse the web normally.
2. I experience a 30-45 second lag every time I launch a program and often while using any program, especially if that program uses the internet.
I am running on a Satellite A305-S6916, model# PSAGCU-09S01S, with Windows Vista. I am fully up to date on Windows Updates. I ran a virus scan through AVG and did not find anything, a spyware/malware scan through Spybot S&D, but did not find anything. I did not originally connect the error with the lag, so I also defragged and ran the disk cleanup program, none of which have helped at all.
I am unsure of how to resolve this error, any assistance is appreciated. Please let me know if further information is needed. Thank you

It's the component of Config Free that supplies the icon in the Notification area. You don't need it.
You can try reinstalling Config Free to get rid of the message.
   Config Free for Windows Vista (32/64bit)
Or you can disable it by clearing the corresponding check box on the Startup tab of the System Configuration utility (msconfig.exe).
