random BSOD crashes

[thehay]

Recently i've been getting some random BSOD crashes (ie.about once every day).

I don't exactly remember but about 4days ago, i noticed that my computer had a new program installed that i didn't remember actually installing. so i went to control panel and tried to uninstall it. I'm a bit hazy on the details after that (i dont remember if it successfully uninstalled) becuase i wasn't really concerned at the time. but i remember i started getting a lot of problems with my computer after that. My programs didnt work and when i restarted, i had a problem with start up and it kept freezing on loading personalized settings. after a few tries and reboots, i managed to log in okay, and i ran a malwarebytes full scan. There were 13detected files or so. However im still getting random BSOD crashes.

Any help would be great thanks.

Oh and I have a msi ex300 laptop about 2 years old running 32bit windows 7 professional from about 1.5 years ago?

"sysapp.exe" Is the faulting program, but its actually a virus so start by doing a virus scan and see if it removes it.

Scan it using this program: http://www.malwarebytes.org/http://www.malarebyte.org

okay somehow my computer has been infected with a virus called win 7 antispyware or somethig along those lines and I can barely use the internet from my laptop now. (this is from iPod touch) I tried downloading this rKill.exe which was supposed to stop all the procresses of the virus so I could start malwarebytes but every time I try to run it I get a BSOD crash. even when In safe mode. either that or my laptop jsut freezes and I have to force shut down.

what do I do ?? and if this is in the wrong forum would someone kindly move my thread to the virus forum?

You have the right section for this post, are you able to format he computer without loosing any data you need?

okay so i finally managed to run malwarebytes. after like 10+ bsod crashes
and the win 7 antispyware thing is gone.
however when i use opera, i keep getting random sites popping up without me doing anything.
i also seem to keep getting redirected to random spam sights when i use google. i believe this to be a virus.
i havent had a bsod crash. yet.

by format, do you mean my whole computer or just say one of my main drives? i have a C drive with my os and programs and a D drive with my data. i really dont want to be formatting either unless it really cant be helped.

Ya that's what I mean by formatting, install Firefox: Mozilla | Firefox web browser & Thunderbird email client and see if you can download MSE: http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/ and run a full system scan and see if it picks up anything.

good so far

As per the original post... I removed Spyware Doctor and installed the free MS product (that's all) and after leaving the computer running for over 24 hrs - NO BSOD's!!!
I will follow your other suggestions this weekend.

Johnathon, thank you so much.... hopefully that was all I needed.

so i ran the mse. it picked up on a few things? but i cant seem to find a log. but all of them seemed java related?
eg. Exploit:Java/CVE-2010-0840.BE
the redirecting has eased. but its still happening on my preferred browser opera once every 4 or so hits.
havnt had the same problem on IE or firefox though.
havnet had a bsod crash yet either.
