Possible Rootkit Virus On My Computer?

By admin Posted in: Kaspersky

Yesterday I was randomly receiving BSODs while trying to find solutions to the problem. I would get the IRQ_DRIVER_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL along with STOP at 0×000000D1 and something about IAstor.sys.
I read around and found that it could possibly be a Rootkit virus. I attempted to run Kaspersky’s TDSSkiller but on scan it would always give me a new BSOD simply stating that a crucial process was unable to run or something like that with the address of 0×000000F4. I’m starting to think it really is this virus but I’m still unsure how to approach this. Any suggestions?

    BSoD is normally caused by bad drivers or system devices. follow these steps to remove unused drivers to see if its an unused driver is causng the problem:
    Go to System Properties dialog by pressing [Windows]+[Break],
    Select the Advanced tab and click the Environment Variables button.
    Click the New button below the System Variables panel.
    In the New System Variable dialog box, type devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices in the Variable Name text box and 1 in the Variable Value text box.
    Click OK to return to the System Properties dialog box and then click OK again.
    Select the Hardware tab and click the Device Manager button.
    In Device Manager, go to View | Show Hidden Devices.
    Expand the various branches in the device tree and look for the washed out icons, which indicate unused device drivers.
    To remove an unused device driver, right-click the icon and select Uninstall.http://forums.techarena.in/operating-sys…

    The blue screen of death http://bosd-checking.com, also known as the blue screen of doom or simply blue screen, is one of the most notorious error messages in Windows based operating systems. To fix blue screen errors, you can safely assume that there’s something going seriously wrong in your operating system. Unfortunately for us, and even the highest trained computer technicians, fixing the blue screen of death isn’t always as simple as we’d like it to be, and it can take an obscure amount of PC knowledge to get to the root of the problem.
    90% registry cleaner can fix the blue screen.

    Hi mate, feel your pain. It just sucks when you can’t get the things to do your work, it can be very stressful. Plus worrying about the privacy and safety of the saved documents just kills it. Let’s try something to revert your computer to a time when it worked. This method sends your computer back in time and changes the registry accordingly.
    So what we can do is perform system restore, system restore reverts your computer’s settings back to when it used to work. Any software that you might have installed or accidentally installed will be gone. This method is very safe as it does not affect your saved files such as music, documents, videos etc.
    Here is a link to perform system restore step by step.
