Vista blue screen constantly, only runs in safe mode. Help!

Alright so, a few days ago my brother used my computer and clicked on one of those msn viruses. I downloaded the msn virus removal program and ran it, and my computer seemed to be back to its good old ways. However, recently vista has just started breaking down. First of all the computer would'nt boot into normal mode and i would get an error message saying 'an UNsuported change has been made to windows' or something of the sort. I ran vista in safe mode and ran multiple virus scanners. I removed a large amount of trojans and then when i tried restarting vista, as it got into the log in screen the computer blue screens. So here i am, back in safe mode (network enabled). Completely dumbfouded.

Would appreciate help!
thanks

Im running a Acer aspire 5710Z laptop, (about 2 years old) with a LEGIT vista copy.

 

What antivirus do you have?Only for this situation,download avast,and when install press yes for boot time scan.Naturally,uninstall present antivirus.

 

no antivirus installed at the moment, because honestly i dont know which one to trust. Is avast worth the trouble downloading, wouldn't posting a Hijackthis log be of more help to an expirienced user?

 

I respect this.

 

If you don't have an anti-virus software, I owuld recommend getting CYberdefender. I had a lot of problems with some of the other ones so I downloaded Cyberdefender, and it really got rid of a lot of nasty things. They also have 24.7 computer support so you can call them if you get into a jam.

 

Are you out if your mind? CyberDefender is malware - it's a rouge. Get rid of it and go to the malwareforum. Right now. Link: http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35407

 

Its not malware.. its adware. malware infects, adware simply annoys (with pop-ups, etc)

However, it wouldnt hurt to run through the Read and Run Me and post the results of the scans in a new thread in the malware forum.

Its also not very nice to call someone names around here

 

Yes, it's malware. Malicious software. Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malware

 

Hun, I know what malware is. I've been studying malware removal for months. Did you even read my post?

 

Yes, I did. According to Wiki's definition this is malware.

 

And wiki is always accurate rolleyes

 

You are of cause entitled to that opinion. However Spyware Warrior has this program listed as a rouge under the entry "SpyBlocs/eBlocs.com". Link: http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm

 

Don't worry, TimW, we're not arguing. We had a healthy technical discussion making a case with links and quotes. The way it should be on a board like this. :cool

 

TinW, we have one user with a malicious rouge software program installed encouraging another user to go and get it. :eek What else was could one do other than warn against it - this being a security board? Hijack or not...

 

Admins can always do what they want.
