vbcrypt trojan, can't boot windows 7 or linux

exeviss,

What program alerted you to having a vbcrypt Trojan?

Are you able to start the computer, and tap the F8 key until you get to the Advanced Boot Options menu?

I scanned for it from safe mode. Malwarebytes didn't find it but AVG did. Probably because I need to update the malwarebytes virus database. I can get to advanced boot options with F8 but running from the last known good configuration only returns the initial bsod instead of a black screen.

I'm about to get started with Farbar. I just wanted to mention before I forgot that my Ubuntu 14.04 is on an entirely different drive than windows and it got infected when windows did anyway. At least I assume it did since it won't boot. Is Ubuntu going to be a major problem to fix?

edit: FRST.txt added

exeviss,

At a glance, the FRST report does not lead me to believe that there is any deep rooted malware in the system.

==================== Drives ================================
Drive c: () (Fixed) (Total:1863.01 GB) (Free:1013.48 GB) NTFS ==>[System with boot components (obtained from reading drive)]
Drive e: (KINGSTON) (Removable) (Total:1.86 GB) (Free:0.79 GB) FAT
Drive x: (Boot) (Fixed) (Total:0.03 GB) (Free:0.03 GB) NTFS

...my Ubuntu 14.04 is on an entirely different drive than windows
Was the drive containing Ubuntu not connected at the time you ran FRST?



Please connect the Ubuntu drive, and, using the Snipping Tool, post an image of Disk Management.
Do so from Safe Mode if necessary.

I don't see the D drive there so it must not be included in the scan. It's in drive management though.
