    Previously I was doing the worm and some threat removal as guided by some forumer online, the worms I got are Vundo infection and Sasser worm, after doing some "hijack-ing" and also clear up those infection using Vundofix, I got the blue screen stating NDIS.SYS quite frequently (as I untick the automatic restart in the 'startup and recovery' in 'My computer' 'advanced' tab.)

    The error is just like common error listed on other sites:

    DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

    NDIS.SYS

    add F73F6BEF base at F73E0000 datestamp 4117EC3

    The frequency of occurance is about 2 hour. I'm not sure whether it is because of the previous virus removal causing this or the NIC/memory problem, but my blind guess is because of the virus removal as I didn't get this frequent before.

    Help~~~

    ndis.sys is a critical system file used by your NIC (ethernet card). Thus, the first thing I'd try is disconnecting the modem, and routers or gateways, and removing the NIC and see if the problem continues. Regardless, I'd also go to the manufacturer's website and see if there are updated or revised drivers available and see if that clears it up. Finally, I'd run System File Checker to verify the integrity of that file (ndis.sys is from Microsoft).
