Random BSODs after running AdwCleaner
After picking up the "search.conduit" PUP, I ran AdwCleaner to get rid of it, and have been getting random BSODs ever since.

Thanks for pointing out "acedrv09.sys"....After some more digging, I realized that I unsuccessfully tried to install a version of Magix Music Maker in compatibility mode. The driver "acedrv09.sys" was added into my system files and that was causing the BSODs.
