Well my computer’s bad. Usually when people hear this they say “no you just need to clean up some-” No. It’s really bad. The beginning of my problems started long ago when my computer started blue screening randomly. On startup it would Blue screen and randomly when I would manage to turn the thing on. Sometimes my computer would stay on the whole day, sometimes it would Bluesceeen 65 times a day. Little more than a year after these occurrences, I was dumb enough to ignore it for a year, I got really sick of it because it was costing me. So I screen shot the blue screen and asked for help. Image for the curious (https://s.yimg.com/hd/answers/i/74d11993b8ae4355a135cddfbc58d7a7_A.jpeg?a=answers&mr=0&x=1404230496&s=2552a251ef3b35759228540242e0e9c0)
I was told that it was a simple hardware/software malware that I should just remove, so I went through my programs, uninstalled all the fishy ones (I searched them all before uninstalling to make sure they weren’t dire to the computer). The next step required me to run a scan with my anti-virus. I didn’t have one so I downloaded avast. To run a scan, I had to restart my computer so I did. Ok start up avast ran the scan and I thought I was finally done with this blue screen nonsense ( after the 3 hour long scan) I finally logged in but was greeted with this.

I tried moving one of my desktop icons and instant Bluesceeen. After hours of waiting I managed to log in again, get greeted by the same message and now I can’t move anything on my desktop, I get a starting error when trying to go to my documents or open things from the desktop. I CAN open things from the start menu but I get blue screened garunteed in a couple of seconds. I really need help. Avast says it is unable to start when I try opening it half of the times and my computer is even worse since I ran the scan. I really need to know what happened and what I can do please.
Attach your logs. (MBAM, OTL and aswMBR…!!)

Don’t need to attach logs, just follow my instructions straight away. Disable Avast before running Zoek.

Please wait until a logreport will open (this can be after reboot)

Follow TwinHeadedEagle’s advice.
Computer blue screened before my log came up… What now.
Not sure if zoek can be run in safe mode, so better wait for TwinHeadedEagle.

Can’t search my computer since the avast scan.
What is the version of your system?
Windows 7, just have it set to look like that a while ago so it would preform better.
Bit version? 32 or 64 bit?
Can’t check my personalizations either but I believe it’s 64
Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool x64 and save it to a flash drive.
[*]Plug the flashdrive into the infected PC.
[*]Restart your computer and tap F8 to bring up the Advanced Menu, then click Repair your computer
[*]Follow the prompt to enter keyboard input method, and then the prompt to enter a password. If the machine does not have a password, simply click Enter.
In the next menu, use the arrow keys on the keyboard to highlight Command Prompt and press Enter.
[*] In the command window type in notepad and press Enter.

[*]Select “Computer” and find your flash drive letter and close the notepad.

[*]The tool will start to run. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
[*]Press Scan button.
It will make a log (FRST.txt) on the flash drive. Please attach it to your reply.
Had no way of posting it forum limit
not sure why you can’t just view on MF though.
Download attached fixlist.txt and save it to your USB flashdrive as fixlist.txt
Boot into Recovery Environment
Start FRST in a similar manner to when you ran a scan earlier, but this time when it opens …
[*] Press the Fix button once and wait.
[*] FRST will process fixlist.txt
[*] When finished, it will produce a log fixlog.txt on your USB flashdrive.
Exit out of Recovery Environment and post me the log please.
Try to boot Windows normally…
So how would I go upon these actions if the FRST64 is on the flashdrive, and I can’t run FRST64 unless we did the thing earlier?
I think I can take the code and make the notepad file but then do I just move the FRST content from the flash onto the desktop in safe mode? Would that mess things up?
OK, i made it easier for you ![]()
Just download fixlist.txt and transfer it on your Flash drive. Then start FRST in recovery mode and click Fix.
Took a while!
