Dr. Watson is a windows utility that reports and logs errors, shouldn't be anything to worry about. Not sure why it came up but it is not spyware.

From just glancing over your logic it looks to be clean. I didn't see anything obvious.

I have had this same thing pop up and to me it is not harmless. I cannot open anything on my computer save for IE and anything that starts up with my computer. Every time that i try to open anything from My Computer to even the control panel, i get the Dr watson error. I am currently working on getting a logfile for someone to look at, but at the time being i must get to sleep. if anyone can offer help before i get a logfile posted, i would be very thankful.

Well, first of all, do you have the "AOL safety and security center" installed?

if you do, then you should try uninstalling and reinstalling it.

If you do not like AOL, will never run AOL; then I would suggest going ahead and posting the log file so that I can see what may be going on.
