DW20.exe failed to initialize

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007

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.
