"I am not a security expert. I suggest that you start a thread in the System Security section and ask for help there: System Security - Windows 7 Forums. There are some really good pros there. You can tell them that you posted in the BSOD section, uploaded your files, and they contained a rootkit.

If you have a system image when you know your system was clean, you can reformat your drive and re-image it. Just so you know, malware can certainly cause BSOD's." -Carltr6- sent me to these forums

Did you try the TDSS killer
How to remove malware belonging to the family Rootkit.Win32.TDSS (aka Tidserv, TDSServ, Alureon)?

 

[Kwbaseball13]

[Kwbaseball13]

ok so i downloaded it and ran it and it found something so i cured it then after that i rebooted now I am on my desktop in standard not in safemode seems to be working fine do you think this is what was causing my blue screeening IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL_?

 

[yowanvista]

Yes you had a variant of the TDSS rootkit, but it seems fixed now
