Solved MSE found virtool.win32/obfuscator.XZ but couldn't get rid of it.

The F4 is hard drive related . Do you have a second hard drive plugged in ?

Can I see an image of msconfig's startup tab

Click on the :orb: button type msconfig press enter . If you get the UAC window press yes . Once the System Configuration window comes up click on the Startup tab . Press Alt and PrntScrn or CTRL and PrntScrn .

Yes, I have two hard drives. I wanted to be cool and keep Windows on a 40GB SSD for dem boot times and then I have a 1TB HHD for the storage of everything.

Added: Yeah, sure. Here's a picture of it. The microsoft guy went ahead and disabled everything.

Um, I don't really understand the question VistaKing, sorry. By everything I mean like..most of my programs, and everything like E:/Music and E:/Downloads and what not...? I don't know if that answers your question. :( No, I'm afraid I don't have that disk, but the manufacturer is Western Digital. It's model number is WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM if that helps.

Alrighty, I got the program and have it doing the extended scan of my E drive. It's estimating that it will take about 2.5 hours, so I don't think I'm going to stay up to post the results. As always! Thanks for your help again. :)

You guys have been helping so much. :D For the first time I can remember in a while, I turned my computer back on from sleep this morning and was just able to use it.

Anyway, I used your advice KingVista and called Mushkin. They had a very capable guy there direct me to download and install a new firmware (it was a bit confusing; that website I linked you to worked for all Callisto drives, except for ones sold over a year ago and I had to check my version of IRT (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) to make sure it wasn't going to conflict with the Mushkin update software. o.O)).

So, long story short I got new firmware for my SSD and there's nothing wrong with the E drive.

:thumbsup:

Zibeltor,

Glad it has all worked out for you.

It is a good thing you hung in there through all kinds of instructions to do this, or do that. :confused:

Some people just want an immediate fix, and that is not always possible.

Good luck!!

Glad you got your SSD firmware installed and your other drive passed . I don't remember if you ran MSE again and see if the program still sees the virus ?

Yeah, originally I was trying to run Microsoft Safety Scanner, but I think that was too intensive on my drive, because it would just crash every time like 2 minutes in. I'll try running Microsoft Security Essentials instead and report back.

I ran a full scan with MSE, and no threats were detected. :D

I'll try MSS, but I'm a little nervous. It seems to rather consistently crash my computer; I'll give it a shot though, and update how this goes.

If it crashes . Try running the scan in safe mode if possible .

To get to Safe Mode . Restart the computer and keep tabbing the F8 key until you reach the Advanced Boot Options screen and choose Safe Mode with Networking log in under your account and run MSS from there .

Zibeltor,

You might want to remove the Microsoft Safety Scanner, downloaded again, and try running a scan. It may be that the program got corrupted, or something...??? :huh:

If it gives you some attitude again, then, do the SMwNetworking like VK says.

Well the scan finished without any crashes or threats detected!

It seems like there were 3 main things, the virus, the outdated firmware on my SSD, and that peculiar default power setting. I just wanted to thank you guys for all your help with everything! First 24 hours without crashing. :D

Sorry, guys...false alarm.

I got another BSOD last night, but this one was a bit different than usual. For whatever reason, a physical memory dump of the logs failed, and it gave me this error code: "0xC0000010". Any of you guys know what to make of that? :/ Edit: I went ahead and added whatever the SF Diagnostic tool could pick up. If Jacee is still looking at this thread, I'm pretty sure the logs are safe. Kingvista hasn't been having any problems (I don't think) and both Microsoft Security Essentials and Microsoft Safety Scanner came up clean after full runs.
