Ok, so I know i'm using vista and this is a win 7 forum... but i am desperate you are guys are the only active people i can find regarding tech help in this matter so please humour me. I have followed the instructions on the forum asking for information, and attached the files requested. Also I am using vista home 32-bit OS, OEM. Pc is approx 3 years old and the OS has never been reinstalled.
I use spyware doctor with antivirus as well as registry mechanic, and i'm positive the problems i am having were caused by infections.
Here is the background. 2 days ago i was watching a show online, i got a popup from my SDwAV saying it detected a trojan, i clicked block and ran a scan, it removed said trojan. Computer was fine for approx 8 hours when all of a sudden i got a message stating "host process for windows services stopped working". Once this happened anything that required administrative privileges or had the security shield icon next to it would not work.
I ran SDwAV again, and blue screened part way through. I tried again in safe mode... same thing. Called PcTools tech support, followed instructions, was told to reinstall SDwAV, did so, part way through installation i blue screened. Windows then would no longer load. I grabbed my windows disk, ran a repair and voila, windows works again, but still same problem as before, getting bsod and the "host process for windows services stopped working" problem. The problem shows up after around 1-2 hrs on the computer and needs to be restarted for it to work again.
Also, when playing call of duty black ops after a while it starts to freeze up. I decided to run a driver utility to see what was out of date and what not hoping for an easy fix, updated my vid driver, no change. When I would blue screen my pc was set to restart itself so i could never see the message, but on the last blue screen i saw it say ATAPort.sys, though I missed the error code. Have since changed the settings so next time it happens i'll have more info, but i think that is plenty. I could use any help at all to resolve this problem. Thanks.
