After ending a video chat session(or more having it ended on me.) on Omegle.com.(Additional note, I was using a version of Manycam to share my desktop and a image from my files.) I got two error messages. The first being
"Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close."
The second
"DrWatson Post Mortem Debugger has encountered a problem and needs to close."


After googling the term I've found that that program is supposed to be on my computer. But reciving a error message about it apparently shows that I have some Trojan called AceBot.
Early links show this page: http://www.thenerdnetwork.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=4935 which explains what it is and that most Anti-Virus systemns can catch it. But it's dated in january of last year.

Is there anything I can do/Should do?

Edit: After looking around in Windows Task Manager I found drwtsn32.exe which I hadn't seen there before(I think.)

Please help.

For some reason, that really really creeps me out.

I'd advise getting anti-viral software very quickly, or updating what you already have if it's insufficient. And possibly avoiding sites that dispense them in the future...

I don't actually know anything about computer viruses (except for that they're bad, uhhhh) but it just seems logical. As for anything more advanced, I'm sure someone on these forums can give you better advice. Good luck!

it appers when a program crashes which could be why you havent seen it before it probably crashed because it was trying to close explorer and internet explorer and didnt like having 2 instances running at once if your anti virus programs dont detect anything i would say its unlikely you have a problem. It only a problem if IE constantly crashes otherwise its just a harmless thing
