    Hello, I have this damn white screen saying please wait while the connection is being established.

    I can't boot up, no safe mode, no task manager, nothing works? Help please?

    Everytime I try to bootup, I get the same thing in normal mode or safe mode.

    The OS is Windows 7 - 64bit Thanks for the help, I found 10 trojans by scanning the drive as a slave, but it still does the same thing even after removing the trojans.

    • Save fixlist.txt to your flash drive.
    • You should now have both fixlist.txt and FRST64.exe on your flash drive.

    Now re-enter System Recovery Options.
    Run FRST64 and press the Fix button just once and wait.

    I ran the TDSSKiller and the MBRChecker, all came out clean. However; malwarebytes found one infection while I ran them? Thanks again, any other things I should maybe run to make sure the system is totally clean.
    Thank you
