    Agree - nothing malicious there. Whatever you do, stay away from IOBit products - I see it was quarantined. How are the PUP's getting onto the system?

    First off, happy holiday's to you guys! This is my first time back on my computer in a week and yes, another BSOD just browsing the web (DM Log attached)

    Not sure how the PUPs are getting into the system unless they're being installed by some 3rd party software without me knowing it.

    Why do you say to stay away from the IOBit software? I had their advanced system care tool but if it's a potential threat then I wont re-install it.

    I didn't get to run Memtest while I was gone but will start it tonight before I go to bed.

    It was demonstrated that Iobit stole the Malwarebytes virus database in 2009 and incorporated it into, and marketed it as, their own product. As a consequence, the company and software is not well perceived, and as a general rule of thumb you would do well not to trust these sorts of products.

    Also the fact that another program quarantined it should also be a clue.

    Replaced the Memory and moved my Graphics card to another slot because it seemed loose in the original slot. Haven't had a BSOD in 4 days now so it was one of those 2 actions that fixed it.

    Thanks guys for all your help, I do appreciate it.
