    Hi,

    I read the stickys, but apologies if I've missed anything.

    I'm running XP only with F-secure, I know it's not great but it's my office PC and F-secure is the only licence we have. So I started having problems yesterday, hard to describe specifically, general slow behaviour, google searches are re-directed that type of thing, but nothing's awry at first glance. About 2 mins after start-up F-secure reports a malfunction in the taskbar but appears normal when opened.

    OK, so I ran superantispyware and found 28 adware things and 2 trojans. Removal of which made no difference. Then I found you're site and followed the read me first guide, however I was unable to d/l combofix from their website. Apart from that I followed all the advice and I've attached the logs from superantispyware, malwarebytes and MGtools.

    BUT during running MGtools I got a blue screen message. I restarted and finished MGtools compilation, but now I get the blue screen every time the PC is left idle for a bit. (F-secure didn't like MGtools, so I had to disable it during). Blue screen message is along the lines:

    "A problem has been detected and you comp has been shut down to prevent damage........

    ...Technical information:

    ***STOP: 0x0000007F (0x000000008,0x80042000, etc etc (but just one line))

    Beginning physical dump...."

    I open to the idea that this is some hard/software prob, but this all happened after some peculier behaviour from F-secure mentioning trojans wich it was unable to disinfect.

    Anyway I very much appreciate any assistance you might have, and apologies for long post.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    You need to attach the log from SUPERAntiSpyware as we requested.

    You did not attach the log from MGtools. See the instructions again. The log is named MGlogs.zip We need this log.


    Are you saying you get a BSOD when you run MGtools? Most BSODSs are not due to malware.
