| 1375226 | 2014-05-19 23:11:00 | Always try Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 to see if you can effect any change to your settings/scan support.kaspersky.com |

| 1375227 | 2014-05-19 23:14:00 | Guess its a reinstall then. You've tried everything else. Or try this (www.eset.com) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1375228 | 2014-05-20 00:04:00 | It's looking pretty desperate. I have re-created the bootloader (lots of DOS commands) but still same result. Maybe a registry entry missing or essential file missing or something pointing to the wrong thing. Just wish there were Restore Points or a way of getting MBAM running so it could undo its actions. |

| 1375229 | 2014-05-20 00:13:00 | Like we said either try an AV bootable ISO or you'll have to reformat / reinstall | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1375230 | 2014-05-20 02:52:00 | I've tried the eset AV ISO but only one leftover from the MBAM cleanup (PUP file in Appdata area). I've reviewed the MBAM log and can't see how any of the deletions could have upset the boot process. Managed to get a utility that showed a restore point to day before yesterday. I restored it and no change. Re-checked boot setup - still no change. Put this disk in another box - stop 7B again. I give up. First time I have had to re-install so am a bit peeved! Thanks for the advice guys - appreciated as always. |

| 1375231 | 2014-05-20 03:24:00 | You could try changing AHCI to IDE in the BIOS. Whatever it was or is may have screwed the sata drivers up | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1375232 | 2014-05-20 22:39:00 | Not the drivers, Speedy. Did same stop 7B thing on another comp. And I did find an old image file (2010) so applied that. That image booted fine. I now think it MAY have been a rootkit issue but I'll never know. Thanks for your help. |

| 1375233 | 2014-05-20 22:46:00 | Thats the main thing, its working again. Depending on how it got infected in the 1st place, I would avoid dodgy sites or downloading dodgy files | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1375234 | 2014-05-21 02:03:00 | Not mine so someone else has to stop their kids using dodgy sites!!! But who would think I would go for the dodgy stuff??? The tragedy is that even mature and sensible people, not really given to the dark side, still manage to get these things. |
