Windows is freezing up after running Virus Scan, Stops on .dll files!
Hi all, I'm in need of some help here!
My PC has been acting a little funky lately(not showing desktop icons or background on startup) so I decided to run a virus scan through MalwareBytes. It found a couple of Trojans and a Pony, which were promptly deleted but it has been having trouble finishing the scan. Every time I run the virus scan now, it freezes up on different files in SYSWOW64(specifically C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64\uniplat.dll) . After it freezes up, if I try clicking on anything outside of MBAM my mouse goes to endless rotating circle, the screen becomes whitewashed, and nothing responds. Trying to access Task Manager gives me a "Windows is not responding" message and all I can do is restart the PC and try again.
I've done this multiple times today and yesterday with the same result (Including in safe mode). I can't find a restore point that works and I'd rather not have to reinstall 7 but I can if I have to. All drivers are up to date and so is BIOS. I did torrent a couple movies a few days ago and I assume a virus hopped on with one of those.
Just a few minutes ago, on one of the restarts, the PC booted into Startup Repair and told me that C:\PSHED.dll was corrupt and could not repair it. It then restarted just fine, I deleted and redownloaded MBAM , started again in Safe Mode and ran MBAM where it froze up again on the same file C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64\uniplat.dll
I hope this is enough info, but if you need more I'll send it right away!
Thanks
