Hi

I had a threat pop up on my computer through my virus program webroot but there was also another box in the top left corner of my screen that said Catalyst Control Centre Host.  I ran the virus scan and it did find one issue so I proceeded with the process to remove the threat. 
My question is with the other box it's asking me to debug or close program,I'm not sure what I should do, any suggestions?
 
Thank you

Hi ?
 
Welcome to the Webroot Community,
 
I believe Windows is saying that a program has closed or crashed unepectantly and needs your permission to debug or close. I would close it.
 
EDITED: In computers, debugging is the process of locating and fixing or bypassing bugs (errors) in computer program code or the engineering of a hardware device. To debug a program or hardware device is to start with a problem, isolate the source of the problem, and then fix it.

Hope this helps?

Hi CaliGirl
 
Welcome to the Community Forums.
 
Catalyst Control Center is as far as I know a legitinate applicaiton that comes as part of the installation & use of an AMD Radeon graphics card, but usually is to be found lurking in background rather than popping up in the foreground.
 
Can you advise further on exactly (i) what the threat that WSA found was, (ii) what threat the scan found & (iii) what actions you took as a result of the threats being highlighted...we need to make sure that you have not fallen foul of what could be a False Positive?
