الخلاصة :
يظهر هذا البرنامج بدون اعدادات وهو يعمل فى شريط taskbar فى الاسفل
نتيجة نزولة مع احد البرامج مثل : برنامج هيم فيجن للكاميرات المراقبة
بينزل معها هذا البرنامج بشكل تلقائى وهو بيحتاجة فى عمليات معينة
ومثله برامج اخرى

وظيفة البرنامج الاساسية هو مراقبة اداء لبرامج الكمبيوتر
وقد يكون فيروس اى بيتم انتحال نفس الاسم لكن الوظيفة مختلفة
لكى تتاكد شوف البرنامج بيعمل داخل programfiles ام Windows
لو ويندوز يبقى فيروس.

What is WatchDog.exe?

The genuine WatchDog.exe file is a software component of Motorola Phone Tools by Motorola.
Motorola Phone Tools is a utility software for managing Motorola phones through a PC. Watchdog.exe runs a process that detects when a phone is connected to the computer using a USB port. This is not an essential Windows process and can be disabled if known to create problems. Motorola Phone Tools lets users transfer photos, videos, documents and contacts between the phone and PC, or from phone to phone. The program can be also used to create ringtones, download drivers, updates, and help troubleshoot Motorola phones. Motorola Phone Tools is available for the Windows platform. Motorola was an American telecommunications corporation that began in Chicago, Illinois as Galvin Manufacturing Corporation in 1928. In 1943, the company went public and the name was changed to Motorola in 1947. At this time, Motorola's primary business was manufacturing and selling televisions and radios. With Explorer 1, Motorola began providing radio equipment for NASA for decades including during the 1969 moon landing. In 2011, Motorola split into two separate companies, Motorola Mobility and Motorola Solutions, after having lost $4.3 Billion from 2007 to 2009.

External information from Paul Collins:
There are different files with the same name:

• "Regrun2" must run at start up. Greatis Software's RegRun 3 Security Suite which amongst other things replaces MSCONFIG. The WatchDog check for registry changes caused by trojan's, viruses, etc
  
• "Watch Dog Program" is not required to run at start up. For Compaq PC's. Associated with Compaq's internet services. Not required if you don't use services provided by them and may not be required even if you do
  
• "Watchdog" is not required to run at start up. Definitely part of the Mustek scanner drivers and software (for 600 III EP Plus and maybe others), launches from the Startup folder in the Start Menu, but not required as they give instructions on removing it on their webpage
  
• "WatchDog": Part of Motorola "Mobile Phone Tools" v3 - in a "Mobiile Phone Tools" sub-directory of Program Files

Important: Some malware camouflages itself as WatchDog.exe, particularly when located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder, for example Trojan.Gen or Trojan.Gen.2 (detected by Symantec), and UDS:DangerousObject.Multi.Generic or Trojan-Downloader.MSIL.Agent.vic (detected by Kaspersky). Therefore, you should check the WatchDog.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security.
