During uninstallation of my AMD Radeon ATI drivers, I forgot to disable AVG until required to do so by the uninstallation procedure. I rebooted and installed the latest 7.2 graphics card drivers and reinstalled AVG. Later on when shutting down I received the annoying error message that DW20.exe failed to initalize as Windows was shutting down.

After digging round on the net and coming across frightening tales of trojans and viruses, I decided to do the logical thing and uninstall AVG, reboot and hey presto, next shutdown the Dr Watson error message had disappeared.

Gord’s interview with Matt Cutts discusses at length some of the new directions Google is currently taking.

Matt: I wouldn’t say that it’s necessarily the nail in the coffin, but it’s clearly a call to action, where there’s a fork in the road and people can think hard about whether they’re optimizing for users or whether they’re optimizing primarily for search engines. And the sort of people who have been doing “new” SEO, or whatever you want to call it, that’s social media optimization, link bait, things that are interesting to people and attract word of mouth and buzz, those sorts of sites naturally attract visitors, attract repeat visitors, attract back links, attract lots of discussion, those sorts of sites are going to benefit as the world goes forward. At the same time, if you do choose to go to the other fork, towards the black hat side of things, you know you’re going to be working harder and the return is going to be a little less. And so over time, I think, the balance of what to work on does shift toward working for the user, taking these white hat techniques and looking for the sites and changes you can implement that will be to the most benefit to your user.
