Sorry I don't have the exact error message (from Microsoft), but it pops up fairly often. I just now searched and found that it's something from Verizon. But I have no idea what it does or if I need it at all.
I'm thinking maybe I should just remove it from my computer, but for all I know that will cause other problems.
(Windows Vista, IE 9)
PS - I did search forums before posting, but found nothing newer than 2010, so thought maybe should get more current information

OK, it just happened again and I have better detail on the message from Microsoft. Box popped up to say:
VzDetectAgent has stopped working
I selected an option to view problem details and it said
Problem Event name APPCRASH
Application name VzDetectAgent
version 2.0.2.20

CRobGauth - thank you for your reply (and yes, as I said in my initial post, I did search before posting, just didn't recognize the above thread about VDA causing wakeup as related to my issue). I was reluctant to change anything on my computer until after doing income taxes (just in case!) but now have done the uninstall.
