Title: DrWatson Postmortem Debugger??? (ahh halp)
Post by: Zovistograt on November 02, 2007, 06:24:34 PM
What the heck is DrWatson Postmortem Debugger?  Whatever it is, it encountered a problem and needs to close.  Before I do anything, WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?!




...uh oh, I just found out that it's a front for a nasty virus.

NOOOOOOOOO I'LL SAVE YOU COMPY

It's a problem on Windows.

Get Linux.

hmm apparently according to a forum that claims to be the leader of info about DrWatson, if it doesn't happen again it was probably just a big software screwup.  If it does happen repeatedly, I'm infected with one of the most senile and evil trojans ever to be concieved on the Interwebz.  Hoorah!

It isn't a virus. It's a program in Windows to analyse problems when your computer freezes

And a poopty one at that. Only in ME/2000 if I recall correctly. Seriously though, get Linux if you're using a machine that old.

I found this out later last night but I didn't get on here until recently...and no, I'm running XP home edition.  Still a sucky compy by today's standards though.
