Hi Guys :-o,

Recently A strange thing is happening to my computer.whatever program i open closes suddenly and displays the error- "PROGRAM NAME Has Encountred An Error And Needs To Close (Send error report) (don't send).At first i didnt pay much attention to it as it is a common error.

It All started one day when i got the EXPLORER.EXE error.clicking don't send made the icons and taskbar go but they came back.then the frequency of this error increased and i noticed that it only appears when i connect to the internet.I Have a game (no one lives forever) that also closed unexpectedly.then it affected my browsers (Safari and Internet explorer).I'm Really worried as i just bought a new hard disk and i dont want to format it. plz hel me.........

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

I Have Tried scanning my computer with spy sweeper,malwarebytes anti malware,bit defender,quick heal antivirus but they have found no infections.all my antivirus are up to date.

Also The programs dont close as soon as i open them.they close anyime.

Also Sometimes the PC Will Suddenly Restart On It's Own

Plz Help Me :sad:

I think you are infected by drwatson32.exe. Me too also was infected by this virus once, no antivirus could detect it.

What I had done was that I installed Zone Alarm and blocked it! It can be done with Comodo Firewall as well! See if it helps!

Yes I Read somewhere about dr. watson but i'm not sure if it is a virus.dr. watson was installed on my pc by automatic updates.i read on microsoft site that it is used to generate error logs.

Drwatson.exe is a windows program but drwatson32.exe is a malware.

i think disc_junkie is right drwatson.exe and drwtsn32.exe are windows program but not drwatson32.exe try logging ur computer in safe mode and then deleting this file otherwise boot through linux or through windows xp cd to delete it.
