My problem is quite small, but extremely annoying, since everyone in my home is always sharing files on our network. Every time I click "My Network", whether its through the start menu, the desktop, or the My Computer menu, I receive a pop-up titled "DrWatson Postmortem Debugger" and my system freezes. The only action I can make during this is ctrl-alt-del. When I do this, I notice two running processes, 'drwtsn32.exe' and 'dwwin.exe'. Ending these processes unfreezes my computer and allows me to continue working, but I still can't access "My Network"...

After reading up on this, I've heard this is most likely a virus which uses the DrWatson program.
I know a handfull about computers and have tried endless solutions, but to no avail. I've run Ad-Aware, AVG, Spybot S&D, Spyware Doctor, Bug Doctor, SpySweeper, and SmitRem in safe mode multiple times. I've worked with HijackThis and Killbox looking for anything unusual and browsing through regedit. Once again, to no avail...

Any help that can be offered would be GREATLY appreciated, and I cant stress that enough. Hopefully it's something simple that I've overlooked. Thank you
