    Ok. I just did it. And I ran the programs for removing adware as previously suggested and it took out a vtoolbar or something like that and Malwarebytes took out 16 other PUP's before. Should I still run the Free Virus Scan, Layback Bear?

    Also, because I'm afraid to ruin my laptop, I'm thinking of bringing my laptop to a shop tomorrow morning if it is open. I got recommended to it by someone else in my area and they have a five star rating online. While I am short on cash, they reassure me that the prices were very reasonable. I was going to ask if he or she could remove the dust built up. Is this a good idea?

    I was looking at my temps and the highest it went to while doing all the scans was 66 C. The lowest while I'm not doing much (but this was right after the scan. maybe 10 minutes after), it was 47 C. Are these too hot? My laptop apparently has this Ice Cool touch on it where it's supposed to keep the palm rest cool. It felt warm when doing the scans and when playing the games. I know it'll get hotter with those things but I just wanted to point it out.

    I'm going to try the memtest86 at night since it'll take a long time. I did the other memory test built into the computer already. I won't be up to watch it. Is this fine? I'm doing the cpu and video test either tomorrow or an hour later from now.

    (I know I asked a lot of questions. I really appreciate the help. Thank you so much)

    I cleaned it, did two scans. I'm going to do one more just in case and I fixed my wifi issue as another pointed out to me on a different post about my wifi issues. So far, I haven't froze and temps are still 58-62C when playing DOMO. I played for about 3 hours and it did not freeze but I'm not getting my hopes up yet but this is an improvement. I would usually freeze not long after I start playing. But it felt a little warm. I think I should try Speccy or another software to see the temperature of the video card or something like that? I read that somewhere.

    I'm planning on getting the dust removed Tues-Thurs. I wasn't able to go today.

    I want to buy an antivirus. What should I get? I'll stay away from Norton but I don't know many others. I know AVG isn't good. I know McAfee is kinda heavy like Norton and the only other ones I know are Butdefender, Avast, and Kaspersky.

    My game froze again, this time, not even one hour in but I think it was getting hot. Coretemp says 61 degrees but I felt like it was pretty hot. I'm getting the dust removed Tuesday or tomorrow if it's opened after my classes. I wanted to rule out the heating issue first but I'll run the last two tests zigzag said I should.

    Before my laptop completely froze, I lost my wifi completely. Is this normal with bsod 124?

    Edit: I turned my laptop on and the wifi is gone again. It says no connections available with a red X and there are more than 5, including my own password protected wifi.

    What should I do?

    It will not hurt to run Eset online scan and it might help. No program finds everything.

    I really have never been in the spot you are in because I have never used IOBit products.
    Most people end up doing a Clean Install that have your problems.
    Their is a good chance that IOBits brought all those bad things that were found with it.

    Let me try to explain.
    Once one has used IOBit products no one knows all the bad things it's done. We don't even know if they are the same on each computer.

    Once you fix 4 or 5 problems 4 or 5 more problems pop up. Then you fix them and more pop up.
    It's a never ending battle. In the mean time IOBits is probably calling Home to China.
    I recommend changing all passwords using a clean computer.

    Oh. I'll do that then at my school where computers are regulated. But I'm not sure if iobit brought that all in. When I got the virus last year from my little sister messing with my laptop, it came with binkiland and snap.do which I thought I had removed but they were still there. My computer ran ok with iobit before then. It doesn't make it good though and I will never put it on my laptop or future laptops again. I've learned my lesson. I will scan again with the other software you recommended.

    Do you think a clean install will solve it? How do I do that?


    I wanted to add that my wifi driver just disappeared, the one I installed as recommended by another on a different thread I created. It just disappeared and now I'm putting it again.

    I tried doing Prime95 and my laptop went from 49 C in idle (when I'm not doing anything) to 81 C in a matter of minutes so I stopped it. I think the max for my laptop according to Coretemp is 105, where it would shut down. It's never gone over 62 when playing DOMO but I'm not always watching the temps. Only occasionally so I can't be sure.


    I'm doing memtest86 tonight since it'll take a long time.

    I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever fix this issue.

    I tried Prime95 again and it went up to 87 but passed some of the first tests but I got scared it might ruin my laptop.

    Any thoughts on what I've typed before? I'm afraid to do memtest and it overheats.

    Waiting on a reply :)

    Why did you run Prim95?
    You said you were going to get your laptop looked at for a good cleaning and take care of the heating problem.
    Good cooling laptops don't like Prime 95 because of the heat it causes.
    Let us know when you have had your laptop looked at for cleaning and proper fan operations.
    At that time I would have new thermal compound installed.

    You have several problems but taking care of over heating problems is the first to take care of.

    **Are you getting any more BSOD??**
