Dr Watson Debugger Virus

Post by marjin_boo »

Anyone has had them?

When you try to open a certain problem, pop up says dr watson debugger problem and shut down what ever you try to open. I try to look in Microsoft.com it says Dr Watson is part of Win XP. I try googling it seems many people have that problem.

Anyone know a solution to it? I havent got it for awhile, but sometime when i open sro and that thing pops up again.

That stuff came with the Service crack 3 update on mine >_>

Always pops up after grave errors like 4 times.

I guess the only way to get rid of it is a restart, because even after uninstalling service pack 3 it hasn't disappeared.

i just tend to ignore it

Step one - Create a new user in windows xp that is different from your logon. You must have administrator rights.

Step two - Copy and paste ALL of your directories, files, documents etc from your old user account into your new user account.

Step three - test to make sure that you have transferred every over.

Step four - delete your old user account.

Step five - right click on a file that previously activated the virus.

Step six - have a nice day because you will find that the virus is gone.
