Hey, i have a computer with a problem, lol. There is this program called dr watson that is suppose to be an error reporting device kinda like the one that microsoft has.
But, everytime i go to open something, it reports an error in its log, and then it does not open that specific file. I have searched a lil on the internet and i found that maulware can hide itself under that name.
How do i remove this program, i need to remove this program in order for the computer to work. I have gone in safe mode and deleted it, but it keeps reacurring. I think that it might be embedded within the installarion and thats y i cannot get rid of it, or something like that. The computer works just fine in Safe Mode when the program is not active.
Don't use a weakness, don't change the subject, don't ask the questions if you fear the answer
All I can say, is that my life is pretty plain, you may not like my point of views, but that’s ok

David, unless I'm mistaken, it's a system file and Windows won't let you get rid of it. If you suspect a nasty, why not do a scan in safe mode to see if that cleans things? ???
HTH.

You need to download and run Spybot...first and then Hijack This second...your problem is spyware and browser hijacking.

The Dr Watson log file is used by technical persons to solve problems with programs, and may be quite large.
