I was on my PC when suddenly this message came up saying "Drwtsn32.exe had 2 b terminated, we are sorry 4 any lost work" or something like that. & it also had the "Don't Send" or "Send" option for sending an error report to Microsoft. & then the same error message for "Windows Explorer" came up. By this time my desktop was sort of frozen as the cursor on the mouse was just stuck on the sand timer. I then pressed 'CTRL, ALT + DELETE' and after a good 5 minutes the task manager had opened up. The problem was still happening in the background as the cursor sandtimer was still there and all my icons and Taskbar from the desktop had disappeared. After quickly searching through the processes on
the task manager i had located the 'Drwtsn32.exe' program that was running and immediately terminated the process. After i had done this everything immediately went back to normal. Then i ran a full depth virus scan with NOD32 but nothing had been detected. Is there a virus on my PC? What shud i do?

Dr. Watson for Windows is a program error debugger that gathers information about your computer when an error (or user-mode fault) occurs with a program and as such works for
microsoft.Some times when you reboot this
problem goes away.It can also be disabled
if causing you to many problems>see below.
Drwatson.exe is an older program error debugger that was included with earlier versions of Windows NT. Microsoft recommends that you use Drwtsn32.exe instead of Drwatson.exe in Windows XP.
Hope this helps.

"drwtsn32.exe virus". This is a tought one, being that the word "virus", was shown on your monitor. Can be what is known as an "application hang", in a modular, or you have a virus that NOD32 is not able to detect.
Would suggest that you run Trend Micro House Calls. No conflict with your antivirus. You will have to download an active "X", that is 100% safe for the server to scan your entire system. Can take upto one hour as the serverr will search for viruses and spyware. When completed follow the instructions to delete.

Wow. I don't know why but people are aware of security threats like viruses and spyware, yet they are not smart enough to have protection.
