DWHWIZRD.exe Application Error

[kimbazan]

I found an application error displayed on my desktop this morning - "The instruction at "0x51428c89" referenced memory at "0x51428c89". The memory could not be "read". Click OK to terminate the program. Click Cancel to debug the program."

I terminated the program since I didn't know what it was.

I searched for DWHWIZRD.exe and it is in my Symantec AV program folder (Client version to Corporate Edition 8.0), but the Symantec Knowledge Base has no mention of this file. I scanned the file for viruses and it was clean. I also ran Ad-Aware to see if it showed up as mal-ware, and it only returned a few unrelated cookies.

Any ideas? Should I be concerned?

Hi kimbazan, try uninstalling Norton and reinstalling it. That often fixes these sort of problems.

I had to hit All the check boxes, but I found an article on that file. It is the virus def installer.

Hope this helps
