Hey everyone,

Yesterday I wiped and formatted my computer, re-installed, fully updated windows and various software. My problem is every so often I get 2 different windows opening multiple times these are as follows -

Data Execution Prevention

To help to protect your computer windows has closed this application

Application: Run a dll as an app
Publisher: Microsoft

Data Execution Prevention

To help to protect your computer windows has closed this application

Application: DrWatson postmortem debugger
Publisher: Microsoft

After I recieve these messages my computer freezes and when I try to end the programs I end up with the blue screen..!

I have looked around a bit and I came across various websites and forums suggesting this could be some kind of virus - for reference I am currently using kaspersky Internet Security 6.0 and Adaware. As I have just formatted I found it hard to believe this could be some kind of virus until my brother admited to installing a dodgy version of musicmatch! I have removed this, could this have been the source of the problem? Also how can I solve this?

Any help and advice would be much appreciated.

Andy

You could try System Restore. A restore point should have been created automatically just prior to installing Musicmatch, so look for a restore point which says "installed musicmatch" and choose that one to restore from. It will return Windows to the state it was in just before musicmatch was installed.

I've just checked and there isn't one, also it's hard to estimate when it was installed as I have installed other sofware both before and after my brother used the computer, so I suppose thats not really a possibility. Does this sound like a virus to you or a windows problem? there seems to be no specific trigger it happens at totally random times are there any scans you would advise?
