BSOD from virus, chkdsk found errors, DM logs attached
Hi
I'm had BSOD errors that I think are somehow related to a virus.
Never had any troubles with my laptop before, but the problems started when downloading a GOT torrent through Vuze.
It worked fine but the next time i tried to boot up it was hanging on the windows logo.
Using the various standard system recovery options did not help, so i ran chkdsk from a Windows 7 copy on a USB stick.
This managed to get windows started and instantly Avira said that it had quarantined a game of thrones virus file, which was basically the name of the torrent but a .exe.
After removing the file my laptop seemed to be working ok for a couple of days, so i updated everything and also removed Advanced System Care after reading some bad things about it.
FRom this point i started getting BSODs. The error message was bsod driver_irql_not_less_or_equal windows 7
Tried running chkdsk again from startup but was even getting the same BSOD before it could finish.
Managed finally to get chkdsk to run and it found various bad files/sectors/indexes which it deleted.
Since then have got a different BSOD where it has simply said that it has saved the files in a minidump.
I'm not sure if the virus is on my system still or if removing advanced system care is the problem, but i haven't had a BSOD for a few days.
Any help is very much appreciated - I've ran DM Log and attached the files.
