DrWatson.exe

Anyone know what this DrWatson.exe file is, found in C:\WINDOWS\system32 ???? If its spyware, Spybot & Ad-Aware aren't picking up on it, and I'm not sure if I should delete it...it only comes up when I click "I'm Back" on my AIM away message...AIM freezes, and needs to shut down, then a message comes up mentioning DrWatson has to close, as well...WTF?

 

Dr Watson is a part of Windowss. It is for trouble shooting. Don't know much about it. Never used it myself. There should be a Dr Watson log/text file somewhere giving a hint of why AIM is crashing.

 

Not sure why it's running to begin with:

Do you guys think this might be causing my problem? Whenever I leave up an away message with AIM, and i have messages, when i click IM BACK, AIM encounters an erro & must shut down, which brings up my DrWatson error window, which i had never seen before...if you know why AIM is f-ing up, id love to fix it

 

Got this from a website at http://www.hotcomm.com/FAQ/FAQ_drwatson.asp
