Help with HiJack log please

Hello

My laptop just blue screened on me a few times after about 15-20 minutes of use.

I was listening to the radio on the it and it started to make an odd noise as if the radio was stuck and then blue screened. It restarted too quickly for me to copy anything that was written on the screen.

I've done a registry check on CC Cleaner, but wondered if someone would take a look at my HiJack log please.

Thank you.

    Without knowing what the blue screen said, it's impossible to diagnose remotely, but some suggestions to simplify your setup

    If you haven't all ready done it, Install Malwarebytes and do a FULL (not quick) scan (after updating it), fix anything found before closing, otherwise you'll have to do it all over again. If anything was found reboot the machine before continuing. http://www.filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/

    If you know you have just been infected, with a fake antivirus for example, running system restore to a previous restore point is often the fastest way of getting your machine working again

    Making any changes to a PC setup always comes with a slight risk of something going wrong, the worse case scenario is an unbootable PC - ideally you should have got a backup of important data on dvd or external disk, and a disk image backup (http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.asp) or windows disc/factory restore partition available before you start. In the unlikely event that anything does go wrong, post on another pc for advice.

    Install and run ccleaner (untick the google toolbar during the install). Untick the "windows log files" box, under the system heading before cleaning. http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/slim

    If you suspect an infection, here are some other virus scanners to try, let them fix anything found

    http://devbuilds.kaspersky-labs.com/devbuilds/AVPTool/
    http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro
    http://support.kaspersky.com/downloads/utils/tdsskiller.exe

    Scanning with all the scanners above along with your resident scanner should remove most or all infections if there are any present on your machine, below is some specific (optional) advice based on your log which may help to improve speed and tidy things up.

    Thanks closed.

    Oddly enough, I seemed to related to listening to the radio on the laptop not a virus ??... it seemed as if the radio froze, made an odd noise and then blue screened.

    Later on when I was doing some of things you told me to do, I didn't listen to the radio and there was no problem.

    But this was probably a coincidence as surely listening to LBC shouldn't blue screen my laptop.

    I have a question regarding uninstalling toolbars, I can't find them via Control Panel. If I went into the C drive where they are located, can I just delete them please?

    I'm working my way through the list... staring at the laptop solving problems makes me head spin, so I do it bit by bit...

    THANK YOU:T:T

  • Things like that might be the key to the solution though.

    Someone else will definately know better than I, but it could be a corrupt sound driver somewhere?

    Ah, ok... as the same thing happened again to me this morning. Listening to the radio and it went 'drrrrrrrrr' and blue screened.

  • But what did the blue screen say? That is the important piece of the puzzle.

  • Sorry I will double post as it is a different point.
    You have Citrix Go2Assist lurking. Are you using a workplace computer, or have someone who remotely diagnoses problems for you?

    Go to administrative tools>event viewer>windows>system there will be an event there with a red error sign which will hopefully tell you what the blue screen error details are. HTH

    Sorry I will double post as it is a different point.
    You have Citrix Go2Assist lurking. Are you using a workplace computer, or have someone who remotely diagnoses problems for you?

    [please do not say that you had a person phone up from microsoft......]


    It might have been BT asking to remotely access my PC the other day. That was some GTA. I can definitely delete it if someone tells me know to.

    Thank you.

    BTW, yes someone 'from so-called Microsoft' did phone... but he wasn't getting anywhere near it. Is this a 'popular' scam?

    But what did the blue screen say? That is the important piece of the puzzle.


    Thanks... Argh... the time of this site is different to the time on my laptop, so I am unable to tell which error message is the exact blue screen.

    However, going on debitcardmayhem's (hereafter known as dcm:T) advice on how to find it, here are a few:



    'The Parallel port driver service failed to start due to the following error:
    The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it'

    'The BCM42RLY service failed to start due to the following error:
    The system cannot find the file specified.'

    'The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
    SASDIFSV
    SASKUTIL'

    'The Network List Service service depends on the Network Location Awareness service which failed to start because of the following error:
    The dependency service or group failed to start.'

    Do any of these look like a bluey to you?!
