    Not NDIS, but NETIO.SYS. Usually that means either your malware application or malware. In your case it was Related to VBEngNT.sys Loader SYS for Windows NT/2000/XP from VirusBuster Kft.

    I would remove and replace it with Microsoft Security Essentials AT LEAST TO TEST

    Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows

    How To Find Drivers:
    - search Google for the name of the driver
    - compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to
    - visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).
    - if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.
    - - The most common drivers are listed on this page: Driver Reference Driver Reference
    - - Driver manufacturer links are on this page: Drivers and Downloads

    That file belongs to Outpost Security Suite. Is there a way to fix this without losing the security suite? Or is outpost no longer the way to go on Windows 7?

    Im not familiar with it so I cant tell. You can tell if it is the only problem by uninstalling it and seeing if your crashes stop. If they dont you can always re-install it.

    Ok thank you. Is it a better idea to run Windows firewall? Should I use my own windows 7 disc and do a complete reinstall without all the extras that came bundled on the laptop?

    IMHO (and I do this on every new machine) I scrub and Clean install. From a strictly BSOD perspective MSE and the windows firewall is the most stable.
