Computer is all screwy lately and I wonder if I'm missing something? Ever since a complete shut down last year due to spyware, I'm ever so diligent with scans, updates and the like. (thanks for all those who helped here @ GTG with that!)
I noticed Zone Alarm started asking for "new program" permission(s) to access the internet a few weeks ago for programs that already should have had permission. Zone Alarm also keeps alerting me that "the firewall has blocked internet access to launchmodem (192.168.1.254) from your computer" (PING). And then the blue screens started. Seems like maybe there's a bad driver based on the research I've done, but how can I be sure? And then a few nights ago when I started my Firefox web browser, it took me to a software page "tenebril" and says my product has encountered an error. What struck me is the page references ghost surf which I'm sure I read was spyware (the related product I use is called spy catcher-do I need to remove it?).
I tend to run online as well as onboard scans often and use Ccleaner to remove unwanted cookies. I've recently run a Kaspersky scan, Panda active scan, trend micro and A-squared online trojan scan with no major results.
AVG virus scan is clean.
Advanced Spyware Remover scan clean.

I selected "clean" for the welchia result, but have had the same result previously and so I wonder......
Stop codes I didn't write down, but a few of the messages I've received are:
PFN_LIST_CORRUPT
BAD_POOL_CALLER
and most frequently IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Any advice or recommendations are truly welcomed. How can I check if a driver is bad? And if it is, what do I do then???? I cleaned the CPU fan last week and boy was it dirty; had hoped that would fix the blue screens due to overheating, but no dice. No apparent rhyme or reason to the blue screens, but usually not during computer activity and mostly after first turning on the machine requiring reboot.
I ran Sdfix in safe mode 2 nights ago and here is the result log:

Thanks so much in advance for any assistance!
I look forward to hearing what's up with my pings, blue screens and OH MY!
cheers~

As I await a bit of help, I came across this thread in the hardware forum here on GTG. It seemed to be of interest because the topic starter was having trouble with BSOD and "IRQL not less or equal" error messages. here is a link to part of that thread: http://www.geekstogo...a....html&st=15
so, perhaps it's Zone Alarm that is causing the trouble, but not itself, but a conflict with the "new" spycatcher thing I installed. Perhaps if I just remove it (spycatcher), all will be fine again??????
Thanks so much for any assistance and wouldn't it be nice if it were indeed that simple?!?!
(would love it if I'm not infected with malware)
cheers
