The Saga of my DrWatson Postmortem Debugger

DrWatson Postmortem Debugger (source:http://www.volesoft.com/images/articles/drwatson-postmortem-kaput-1.jpg)I am having some problems with my laptop for some weeks now. About 3 weeks ago, my 2-year subscription to McAfee expired and I didn’t renew it anymore - a bit expensive for me now that we’re in a tight budget. So I opted to download free AVG after the man in PC warehouse told me to just try the free edition when I went there to ask how much is Norton antivirus - Php2,500 for a year, a bit cheaper compared to Mcafee, but still won’t fit our budget.

Anyways, after installing AVG, I also installed Trend Micro coz it said in the net that it was good in cleaning up those spywares and trojans. However, after installing it some pop ups kept on coming out about the adware Trend Micro found out in my system. Thinking that it was an spyware or something that I don’t really needed, I deleted the file, I forgot the name, but at least my Trend Micro stopped bugging me about it.
