I am running an Athlon XP 1800+ with XP HOME SP3
Avast antivirus 4.8 Home registered version
Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE
A couple of weeks ago I downloaded a movie using a P2P
I put the movie into a folder with other movies
When I open the folder the computer freezes for a few seconds with an hourglass pointer indicating it is working and then I get a window with the Dr. Watson postmortem debugger error message stating that explorer needs to close. After a few minutes it does not close and i have to manually close dr watson in the task manager window at which time windows explorer completely closes and re-opens.
I went into the command prompt and manually moved the new movies to a new folder to see if they were the cause but now if I open any folder with movies in it, I get the message.
I feel that the movies I downloaded were embedded with some malware possibly infected by the very people that make the movies to prevent people from downloading illegal movies.
Here is a log from HiJack This if it helps. Can anyone help?
