DrWatson running 88 times!

by darrynmarr1979 . Updated 21 years, 3 months ago

Ok, im stumped on this 1, ive just removed a few files that were causing my system problems which were ;

ioru.exe (no idea what it was, but didnt belong there)
vxgame and vx blocker.dll (dropper exploit i think)
win32.exe (some relation to a virus dont know which)

ok, let me ask my question, why is it that now when i restart windows xp (professional edition) my task manager is now filled up to the eyeballs with drwtsn32.exe, as in its running 88 times!! at once!! i know what DrWatson is, i know what it does (for the most part anyway), what i dont understand is what its doing running 88 times in my procces and taking up to 50% of my processing power!!!!

again ill repeat that, drwtsn32.exe is running 88 times in my processes and isnt closing or coming up with ANY messages at all.

Im running norton antivirus 2005 on my machine, ad-aware, ran full system scans on both cant find anything.

Any help would be appreciated, as well as any comments to see if anyone else has had this? and how to stop it happening again!!
