I've tried to find this on the internet, yet I'm not having any luck. I need to disable this error reporting as it is reporting misinformation of a site that I go to frequently. It blocks me out of it. I already know that it's not my anti=virus software which is Bitdefender 2010. I have the internet toolbar disabled. Is there a way to disable this error reporting in IE8? Here is the message I get when I go to the webpage.
To disable the URL Error Redirection, go to the option page of your toolbar. (I'm not sure how to find this)

Keep in mind the most IMPORTANT step in the following is creating a backup of the Registry...
That being said:
To disable sending crash reports of Internet Explorer, you must do the following:
1. Click Start, Run
2. In the Open box type the command regedit and click OK to launch the publisher of the registry
3. Go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Main
4. For this key, locate the entry DWORD named IEWatsonDisabled. If it does not you can create as follows:
* menu Edition Pull down the Edit menu
* Click New, DWORD Value, type the name of the new DWORD value
(IEWatsonDisabled)
5. Double-click DWORD Value IEWatsonDisabled. and set its value to 0 (in the field Value data)
6. Create a second DWORD value as described in step 4 (steps 4-1 and 4-2), the IEWatsonEnabled name (if it does not already exist). Put the value 0 in the field Value data
7. The changes are taken into account immediately, and error reports IE will no longer be sent to Microsoft engineers.
