    The full scan had 3 pup.optionals, took care of those, part of installer.exes from other programs. Had a few bsod that interrupted the full scan a few times (and even a power outage). Finally got it done while I was at work today.

    I'm preparing my personal files, zipping them up in case formatting and reinstalling proves the best option.

    How are the BSOD, have you had any since?

    If you have run Anti-rootkit utility TDSSKiller and post the results!
    A clean install is always a good idea if you are willing to.

    That program found a rootkit of high risk "Rootkit.Boot.Pihar.c" and I chose to cure, and will be rebooting. Will be back later tomorrow but I have had more BSoD's so posting a fresh SF for you too. Windows Malicious Software Remover also found a virus called Alureon it removed.

    So that latest .zip is prior to the cleaning actions?

    Right, in order to eliminate unwanted software issues I suggest going ahead and performing
    a clean install, you can reference this tutorial if the need raises.




    One more thing I forgot to ask, is any hardware overclocked?

    Got all my files stored and everything set for the install, I'm just seeing if the bsod comes back after those last cleaning actions to confirm if they were causing it.
