Regularly run AV/AS checks with what?

Might I suggest a little cleanup before you go much further?

If you have applications you do not use - go through Control Panel --

rebooting as needed to remove them - reboot one more time for good

Download/install this:

After installing, do the following:

Start button -- RUN -- type in:
"%ProgramFiles%\Windows Installer Clean Up\msizap.exe" g!
-- Click OK.
(The quotation marks and percentage signs and spacing should be exact.)

Download, install, run, update and perform a full scan (separately) with the
following two applications (freeware versions are the ones to use for this):

SuperAntiSpyware
http://www.superantispyware.com/
(Reboot if needed)

MalwareBytes
http://www.malwarebytes.com/
(Reboot if needed)

After performing a full scan with one and then the other and removing
whatever they both find completely, you may uninstall these products,
if you wish.

Download and run the MSRT manually:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/ma...e/default.mspx

Reboot.

Download/Install the latest Windows Installer (for your OS):
( Windows XP 32-bit : WindowsXP-KB942288-v3-x86.exe )
http://www.microsoft.com/downloadS/d...displaylang=en

Reboot.

and...

Download the latest version of the Windows Update agent from here (x86):

of the C:\ drive, do the following:

Ensure your hardware drivers are up to date (from the hardware
manufacturer's respective web pages.) Never get hardware drivers
for hardware that was not created/sold by Microsoft from Microsoft.
In other words, if you have an ATI video card, get the video card
driver from the AMD/ATI web site. If you have a Broadcom network
device, get the driver from broadcom. The exception would be if you
have a third-tier computer - from IBM, Dell, Gateway, HP, etc... Go to
their site, put in your model or serial number and get the drivers *they*
offer.

Reboot...

Log on as an user with administrative rights and open Internet Explorer
and visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and select to do a
CUSTOM scan...

Every time you are about to click on something while at these web pages -
first press and hold down the CTRL key while you click on it. You can
release the CTRL key after clicking each time.

Once the scan is done, select just _ONE_ of the high priority updates
(deselect any others) and install it.

Reboot again.

If it did work - try the web page again - selecting no more than 3-5 at a
time. Rebooting as needed.

The Optional Software updates are generally safe - although I recommend
against the "Windows Search" one and any of the "Office Live" ones or
"Windows Live" ones for now. I would completely avoid the
Optional Hardware updates. Also - I do not see any urgent need to install
Internet Explorer 8 at this time.

Seriously - do all that. This is like antibiotics - don't skip a single
step, don't quit because you think things will be okay now - go through
until the end, until you have done everything given in the order given. If
you have a problem with a step come ask and let someone here get you
through that step. If you don't understand how to do a step, come back and
ask here about that step and let someone walk you through it.

Then - when done - let everyone here know if it worked for you - or if you
have more issues.

Shenan,

Many thanks for your comprehensive response. It's going to take a bit of
time to work through it but to answer you question I use Zone Alarm, Spybot
and Adware Anniversary edition against spyware and virus infection.

just a point I feel I need to make:
Your antivirus and antispyware applications are excellent choices -
however - I would still say you should run the three i specify in my steps.

Very good.

While your waiting for your BSOD, please do this part I left out of my
earlier post:

Reduce the chances of malicious software by running some scans.

Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware
detection programs:

Malwarebytes (MBAM): http://malwarebytes.org/
SUPERAntiSpywa (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

These can be uninstalled later if desired.

Send the information pointed to with the red arrows (3-4 lines

the boring text unless it looks important to you. We know what a BSOD
looks
like, we need to know the other information that is specific to yours
BSOD.

Wait for a failure, send the info.


Very good.

While your waiting for your BSOD, please do this part I left out of my
earlier post:

Reduce the chances of malicious software by running some scans.

Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware
detection programs:

Malwarebytes (MBAM): http://malwarebytes.org/
SUPERAntiSpywa (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

These can be uninstalled later if desired.

Burn BitDefender, or another program listed at the link below, to a CD
(using a working machine) and test the infected machine with it.
BitDefender also has a Rootkit checker on the Linux Desktop; run it if
you think that's the problem:

Download the executable rather than the .iso image, if one is
available.. it prompts you to insert a CD and burns the file, no problem.

Then run these:
