Hi All ~
I am using a Dell Vostro 1500 laptop with Windows XP, and I just had a freeze-up problem. In the background of the windows that were stuck, not opening, I saw a window in the background, that read something like "Doctor Watson Postmortem Debugger." I couldn't read anything inside of that window, though, because the frozen-up one was in the way. I wasn't able to solve the problem with ctr-alt-del, and after multiple attempts, I just manually shut down the computer with all the windows still open.
The computer fired back up normally. I then went to Google and searched to find information abot Dr. Watson. The consensus I found was that it is a normal Windows tool, but one contributor suggested that, while it is normal, it is "run by Acebot," which is a very malicious Trojan Horse that is very difficult to destroy. Can anyone give some information about this? I haven't heard of it, and there is nothing in these forums that I can find, about acebot.
Thanks!
