GDWH message

Guest

Brand new computer and when I switch users, my internet connection doesn't
work and the message 'end program now' pops up with the letters GDWH. Any
idea what this is. I have searched the internet for this, but no info out
there to help me solve this problem. Thanks.

A search on google doesn't bring up anything definitive. Saw several
threads suggesting that this belongs to a security tool installed on Dell
computers but no feedback to confirm. Might check with Dell if that's your
brand of computer. They would be able to tell you if there is an update to
fix this problem or if it's something that you can safely disable.

It sure wouldn't hurt to run a full system scan with an antivirus program
that has current virus definitions just to be on the safe side.
