    Hi All,

    I have an old xp sp3 machine. I have not noticed anything strange. I am starting to clean it up and migrate all data from it so i can upgrade to windows 7.

    I ran system endpoint protection: no issues
    I ran Malwarebytes and got the blue screen of death at the final, heuristics stage. Up to that point 10 issues were found. All PUP's. YTDToolbar, InstallCore.A, and MySearchDial.A

    I have run the scan about 4 times now. Every time a blue screen. Same message KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR. I know this could be related to memory so i am currently running memory tests in case it is the hardware, but i find it strange that malwarebytes is causing this.

    Any advice? Thanks
