    Hey guys an update: Action center detected a virus named Win32/Small.CA, I don't know where it is yet. It says the it caused my PC to stop working properly on Dec. 4, 2012 at 7:52 P.M. (GMT +8:00). Is it one of the culprits thats causing my PC to have a BSOD? Plus no BSODs yet.

    I guess it could be, but don't really know. In the meantime, what are doing about it? Read this from MS: Encyclopedia Search Results: Win32/Small.CA - Learn more about malware - Microsoft Malware Protection Center

    Try running this. Free Online Virus Scanner | ESET
    And/or this. Free Virus Scan - Kaspersky Lab

    Then there's Windows Defender Offline as well. Windows Defender Offline

    Well I scanned both of my HDD's using those nothing popped up and scanned with MSE for 10 hours and still nothing except for a worm in my External HDD (Worm:JS/Desplear.C) but haven't detected Win32/Small.CA virus. Any help?

    You can try yet one more scan engine, Malwarebytes : Malwarebytes Anti-Malware removes malware including viruses, spyware, worms and trojans, plus it protects your computer Click the FREE version, not the trial.

    I'll ask a security exert to have a look here too. It seems some of the Small.CA files are fake to induce people to pay for a scanner. Others download more malware and other software without a user's consent.

    What security program was running when Action Center had the initial warning? Only security can detect malware, not Windows.

    Let's do two things
    first ...
    Please download TFC by Old Timer TFC - Temp File Cleaner by OldTimer - Geeks to Go Forums and save it to your desktop.
    Save any unsaved work. TFC will close ALL open programs including your browser!
    Double-click on TFC.exe to run it. If you are using Vista/Windows 7 right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator.
    Click the Start button to begin the cleaning process and let it run uninterrupted to completion.
    Important! If TFC prompts you to reboot, please do so immediately. If not prompted, manually reboot the machine anyway to ensure a complete clean.

    After your computer has rebooted, I'd like you to scan your machine with ESET OnlineScan
    1. Hold down Control and click on the following link to open ESET OnlineScan in a new window.
      ESET OnlineScan
    2. Click the button.
    3. For alternate browsers only: (Microsoft Internet Explorer users can skip these steps)
      1. Click on to download the ESET Smart Installer. Save it to your desktop.
      2. Double click on the icon on your desktop.
    4. Check
    5. Click the button.
    6. Accept any security warnings from your browser.
    7. Check
    8. Push the Start button.
    9. ESET will then download updates for itself, install itself, and begin scanning your computer. Please be patient as this can take some time.
    10. When the scan completes, push
    11. Push , and save the file to your desktop using a unique name, such as ESETScan. Include the contents of this report in your next reply.
    12. Push the button.
    13. Push

    @Britton30: MSE was only AV that is online that time and "Others download more malware and other software without a user's consent." I think that is happening to me too because my PC is using around .80-.92% of network utilization on startup. I will try netstat -ano on startup to see whats connected to me some time today
    @Jacee: I'll try to do it later when I'm not busy.
