Windows 7: Bad_pool_header

Hi, my computer is trashed and everytime I think I fixed a problem, something else pops up. Totally new to the site and would appreciate any help

Lets star with sptd.sys and avast.

Please remove any CD virtualization programs such as Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120%.

They use a driver, found in your dmp,sptd.sys, that is notorious for causing BSODs.

Use this SPTD uninstaller DuplexSecure - Downloads

when you're done you can use this Freeware MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD-ROM(MagicDisc) in its place.



Remove avast and replace with Microsoft Security Essentials.
