Hey I did the fix and it restarted but bluescreened and there was no record obviously and also of the bluescreen with bluescreen view or whocrashed - no mini.dmp file either. So I am guessing it worked since the pc is running now, but there's something in the registry that might need to be removed still. I also wouldn't mind cleaning my registry of anything that doesn't need to be there anymore, but not sure if you help with that kind of thing or can recommend a program?
So for clarity:
-Did the fix, it asked to reboot
-Immediate BSOD on start
-Rebooted again, running fine so far
-no OTL log, no bsod mini.dmp in it's folder, no record of any text files of any sort created on 6/3
Wouldn't mine running a registry cleaner for a number of reasons.

Yeah there is no log in that folder run for that date. Just the previous one I posted on 5/30. The BSOD didn't even provide me with a mini.dmp. I'll run that fix again or should I just run OTL again? Still seem to be getting the Bluescreens though since. ntoskrnl.exe driver.

Hi
Did you encounter any BSOD before you started with the removal process? Did you make any changes to your system like updating your drivers, added/changed hardware during the course of the malware removal process?
Jessicka
I had not added or changed hardware while we worked on this issue. It just now is an issue that seems unfixable. Bluescreens daily since the last change with OTL. You guys have to adjust the time people can reply too, some of us work, have family and lives and don't sit on a computer all day. I work 10 hours a day, I have a dog that had major hip surgery I have to take to therapy 3 times a week, I need to sleep and eat to survive too... is all that not as important as making sure I reply on this site? I know you are helping me, but I think 5 days should be the limit, it's a lot more fair. Your signature says never give up!

Hi,
Please follow the instructions on here to disable automatic restart on system failure
Take note of the system failure code, driver details, etc and post it back here
