So, I drop to a command prompt, do: dir /s savedump.exe [press enter]. I checked the date and location and they were valid. I believe it is part of "Dr Watson" and writes out the user.dmp file that can be found in the DrWatson directory (do: dir /s *.dmp). It is my opinion that just like the planet Earth, savedump.exe is "Mostly Harmless" and should not be obliterated..

Have seen it cause unnecessary system shutdown in WinXP Pro when NTOS Kernell Debugger process is set to run at startup in msconfig. By disabeling this process you can keep the system from shutting down untill you remove the spyware or virus masking itself as savedump.exe.
