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.How do i get rid a rootkit im guessing some type of Anti-virus but could you recommend any for my specific problem this is the first time something like this has ever happened to my computer. thanks for responding carltr6
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.
