Thanks for the help anyway.... I used a combination of Malwarebyte's and AVG free.

No need for the attitude, please.

erm... i'm pretty sure it is, considering it is called ANTI-MALWARE, and their slogan is Destroying Malware one byte at a time.

Just a simple question: If i remove a virus with Malwarebyte's AntiMalware, what are the chances of making the system BSOD on boot?

^the above program is O.K., but i prefer malwarebytes antimalware, and if that fails, Kapersky free edition, but NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES DO YOU USE NORTON!!!

I recently got a virus on my Inspiron B120 Laptop and the only thing I was able to do to remove it was to reinstall Windows XP on the computer. I have also installed the drivers from Dell's website but I keep getting the blue screen with the Kernal error message. This is what the message is:

STOP: 0x0000007A (0xE159FA38, 0xC000185, 0xBF93E4EB, 0x075A9860)

win32k.sys - Address BF93E4EB base @ BF800000, DateStamp 48025f2a

Does anyone know what this means and how to fix my computer??

I don't think you are dealing with a corrupt drive here... try running this drive as a slave on another computer or just take it in to someone that can. they should be able to salvage anything, remove the virus, and let your system boot normally again.

Honestly, in my experience, there is nothing majorly wrong with Vista at all, unless you install it on a previously XP computer. Usually, and I stress usually, there will be no real problems with Vista if it is pre-installed on your machine, as I am using an HP G60 laptop with Vista Home Premium installed, and have had no problems at all. The only problems were with some Acer products such as the Aspire One, and they are now sticking with XP, so that doesn't affect you.
