826710 2009-11-02 23:51:00 hmm seriously thinking about buying a full version of NOD32. Cause for the last couple of months been using trials, and they all expired and so i installed avast and now i get viruses.

Here was me thinking that Apple does not get viruses or should that be virii.

What are you doing using Avast on a Mac anyway?

Yep. Very much tongue in cheek and you profess to be an Apple expert.

826711 2009-11-02 23:59:00 haha no viruses for mac. Its what i am using to get internet until I get rid of that virus on my vista. Which just Blue screened 3 times nedkelly (9059)
826712 2009-11-03 00:01:00 oh dear not looking good. Might be time for reinstall if this dont work. Really dont want to reinstall the laptop though nedkelly (9059)
826713 2009-11-03 00:01:00 BSOD number 6.
Think will give laptop a rest for a bit to see if that helps

826714 2009-11-03 00:05:00 Did you disable system restore?? Whatever it is, it maybe running on startup. Post a HJT log from it (boot into safe mode / networking). WHAT does the BSOD say?? Does it say the name of a file? Speedy Gonzales (78)
826715 2009-11-03 00:10:00 cant see what the bsod says it just flashes up and the laptop restarts nedkelly (9059)
826716 2009-11-03 00:12:00 cant get into safe mode nedkelly (9059)
826717 2009-11-03 00:17:00 You'll have to untick auto restart. If you can get into it somehow (winkey+pause) / advanced tab / startup and recovery / settings. Try last known good configuration (hold F8 down after you reboot).

You could use trojan remover, but it doesnt work in 64 bit

826718 2009-11-03 00:24:00 this is not 64 bit. But the big problem is I cant get the laptop to start up nedkelly (9059)
826719 2009-11-03 00:29:00 Remove the hdd then put it in a desktop, then scan it. Can you press F8 then select disable auto restart. Dont know if its there or not. So it wont even turn on let alone boot into anything? Speedy Gonzales (78)
