I have this thing that has been happening recently on my computer where, if a program is not responding and that windows window comes up where it says "such and such program is not responding' and then it asks u to send it to windows because and then after that, when its done, you close the window. Do u know what I mean? Anyway, normally, at the top of that window that comes up, it says Windows Explorer(I think that that's right, but I'm not sure???), but sometimes, it instead says 'DrWatson PostMortem Debugger' at the top, saying that that is a program that isn't responding and blah blah blah. Now, I KNOW that I do not have a program that is called that, so I think that that's weird. Also, when i close that window, the computer starts acting funny, and eventually my computer freezes, and its acting so weird and slow, I have to actually MANUALLY restart it. It's really strange. I'm thinking it's a virus, because it's slowing down my computer. But I run virus scans regularly with my norton antivirus, my ad-aware, and my spy sweeper, and no problems come up on there. PLEASE HELP!! Thanks

I have the exact same problem happening, can you tell me if this might be related or the cause of my script error i cant fix? I am trying to reinstall my sbc yahoo browser and I keep getting a "an error has occurred in the script on this page" message. I have done everything as far as internet options reset and even run command Regsvr32 urlmon.dll. I am at a loss of what to do next. Then this drwatson postmortem started popping up. So I was hoping to find out the 2 might be related and then if so ...who do I kill?? lol jk if so what do i need to do?

Please go to this link and follow the instructions:

Next post your Hijack This log in the "Hijack This Logs" subforum to be analyzed. Posting in another users topic makes things confusing.
