- Trojan.Horst (no, that's not a typo)
And, before I forget it, more than a year ago, I had an encounter with a Rogue AntiSpyware which I ultimately was able to eradicate (or so I was led to believe) with the help of smitfraudfix obtained from bleepingcomputer.com .
Also, when I tried to run GMER last night (01/26/2010) to add its log to this post, it crashed less than a minute after hitting Scan with NIS active.
When I tried to run it with the AntiVirus and Firewall of NIS turned off it virtually immediately caused a blue screen of death after hitting Scan.
The only useful information on the BSOD was
0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0x0000005A, 0xA69F7AE4, 0x00000000)
Upon restart and authorizing to send the error report to Microsoft, the following URL was opened by the operating system:
http://wer.microsoft.com/responses/Respons…82-fdf3197754b3
Let me know what other information I can provide that might help in narrowing things down.
Thanks in advance for all your help.
