For all I can tell, maybe a virus got onto your computer and is causing problems, or maybe you've got an issue with a program hogging resources or something...?

I can't tell much from just a screenshot, sorry... :-/

Screenshots don't help one bit. If you want help fixing this, you'll have to elaborate a little on what your computer does. Which program does this? What, from what you can tell, leads to it happening? How often does it happen? Since when has it been happening?

This is not a virus. This is a program's error message, and from the looks of it, it's a problem with either your connection to a certain server, or the server itself. A program is attempting to do something and can't because, like the message says, the other program is "busy."

What "busy" means and how to avoid running into this "busy" state depends entirely on what the program is, when this occures, and so forth. What happens if you click on "Retry"? What happens if you click on "Switch to.."? Please provide more information if you want a more conclusive answer. We're not mind readers and there are so many things that can cause errors, an error message alone won't tell someone who isn't using your computer what's going on.

Edit: Typo.

aight, i'll tell you exactly what goes down when this happens.

when using programs that require an internet connection(Firefox, Ares, AIM,etc.), it brings up this message. the "Retry" does absolutely nothing. i can hit "Switch To' and it'll bring up the Start menu. after doing thios 5-70 times, the message stops appearing and about 2 or 3 minutes later about 3 or 4 IE pop-ups show up. after closing, those, it's usually over with. but, sometimes the problem starts all over again.

how's that?

Edit

if it's not one problem, it's another. now, i'm starting to get pop-ups for Aurora on a regular basis everytime a new pages loads. i put in a search for Aurora on my comp and found it attached to a bunch of useless programs. i went in and deleted them. problem solved, right? wrong. i'm still getting this Aurora pop-up thing. any idea what the problem with this could be either?

Your edit reveals that, while you don't have a virus as such, you have spyware aplenty.

This probably won't fix your initial problem (though it might), but go grab adaware by lavasoft and run a scan on your system. You'll find loads of spyware, guaranteed; get rid of all that crap.

In my way of thinking, virus meant spyware too.

Just keep hacking away at the spyware, adware, and any viruses you can find, if only to clean your computer up. Get Spybot too so you can get the most complete spyware scans done, with Adaware and Spybot combined. If that doesn't fix your problem, it could be something more serious.

Here's also a link to a way to fix the Aurora problem, don't know if it'll help or not. Scroll down about halfway, it seems to be the most thorough method there.
