Windows 7: Windows 7 Bluescreen Dump Product 768_1

I have zero experience at analyzing dump files. I restored by OS back to the initial Windows 7 update and the problem went away. I am sure because Windows 7 compatibility issues with hardware items on my machine or with applications I am running, this bluescreen dump issue has re-emerged this morning. It's terribly frustrating to have an issue like this and not have the experience to resolve it. My expectations are that Windows 7 diagnostics will assist with analyzing or resolving the issue, but I have not been able to find a diagnostic that will tell me anything meaningful. so this morning here I am with the following issue:

What is product 768_1... this makes absolutely no sense to me. is this a hardware driver issue? is this an application issue, is this an Windows 7 issue? Is this a registry issue?

Again, I have NO experience with analyzing this situation and I am unfamiliar with the tools. Could you please provide some guidance (in English) written for someone who knows absolutely nothing about running diagnostics because my previous Vista OS ran perfectly.

Attached is the zip of the dump file

Thanks,

The crash is caused by an older driver called iksysflt.sys. Web searching suggests the driver is part of something called "Spyware Doctor". In this instance, the cure is worse than the disease.

Uninstalling "Spyware Doctor" should remove the buggy driver and hence stop the crashing. Alternatively, if you simply can't live without "Spyware Doctor", try do obtain and install a greatly updated version.

If you're quite certain that you've never installed something called "Spyware Doctor", then the driver is possibly malware which is masquerading under a known name.

that is terribly interesting... I believe I deinstalled spyware doctor almost two years ago. It must be an old registry entry. I went to the Windows Program and Features option and it doesn't show up, so I can't remove it (again). I also searched and didn't find anything referencing spyware doctor.

How do I remove this?

Try it this way...

On an elevated CMD instance (run CMD as admin), type this:

SC CONFIG IKSYSFLT START= DISABLED

(Note the lack of space before the 'equals' sign and the space after it.) Then, reboot. That should be enough to knock out the driver.

Optionally, you can then go and outright delete the driver's entry in the registry, and then the driver file itself. It'll most likely be HKLM\System\CCS\Services\IKSYSFLT.

If that "optional" bit doesn't make much sense, don't worry about it - as long as the SC command reports "success" you'll have deactivated the driver (after a reboot).

I went out to cmd.exe as admin and executed your string (after I deleted Spyware Doctor out of my registry) and it came back as SUCCESS. What a mystery.....

Thanks!

I am having the same problem although I do not remember installing that software. When I use the cmd SC CONFIG IKSYSFLT START = DISABLED I do not get successful just a listing of the parameters. See attached. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks
