While surfing more I found it is not a malware but a built in Windows debugger program. Windows is using Dr Watson Postmortem Debugger to collect error reports from our computer. We can either delete or disable this program in our computer. So I decides to disable this program to make my desktop work again. So I tried to log on to my Desktop computer. After many attempts I successfully log on to the Windows account. Then I followed the steps below.

Big thx! Im use this for my blog ( [url=http://thatyouknow.net]ThatYouKnow.net[/url] ) .
Have you found disabling Dr. Watson has improved your system’s performance? There’s actually a myth that says the Dr. Watson program logs all activities on Windows XP, Vista, and 7 machines and sends them to Microsoft. This rumor also says it can decrease the performance of your PC. Check out this small series of benchmarks using PCMark Vantage we conducted- http://bit.ly/5vvOJp. The productivity benchmark did not show any noticeable differences when Dr. Watson was enabled or disabled. So it really doesn’t affect performance in Windows XP.
Hi TuneUP,
I have read your article and understand there Dr. Watson Postmortem Debugger is not affecting the functionality of our computer.
I disabled this Windows error reporting feature only because I found it as a nuisance. I never checked whether it affects the performance of our Windows XP computer or not.
why IP ADDRESS 127.0.0.1 is taken from Class B
Hi Sank,
127.0.0.1 is called loop back address. You cannot use this address for any kind of network connections other than representing your own computer.
I am having the same problem but It doesn't give me the time to click on run and type anything in before it pops up a freezes. I went in safe made and it still does the same thing. I am furious with it now. I am also getting the same problem error about explorer. What in the world could I do? I can't open, download, or hardly look at anything before it freezes. PLEASE someone email me at earthquakemagma@comcast.net with some solutions. Thanks alot.
