BSOD possible association with Smitfraud-C generic
Hello, this is my first post in this forum so I will try to be as concise as I possibly can. I have been downloading torrents for over a year now, and for the first nine months I did not notice any problems. I have always had virus protection (Norton 360) and it has always worked properly. About two months ago, I began using Youtube to MP3 converters. After downloading about twelve songs, my computer became infected. First I noticed problems in the speed, and then the BSOD started popping up. I tried Restoring my computer, and that worked for a brief amount of time before the Blue screens came back. Once the Blue Screens started popping up, Norton would not open up, so I downloaded Spybot and Avast. Spybot repeatedly tells me that I have a Smitfraud generic C, and it will say that it has removed it, but if I run back to back scans, it shows up again and again. Needless to say, I have become very frustrated with what to do. I tried using the debugging tool I watched a video on Youtube that showed me how to figure out what each Blue Screen meant, but there were so many of them and every time I tried googling the results there was no help available. Myy computer knowledge is limited to the point that I don't know the specs of my Dell laptop and I dont know how to find them. I did download the SF diagnostic tool and was able to attach the zip file. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
