I started getting the BSOD about 10 days ago. The stop was 0x0000007A followed by 0xc03E098, 0xc000000E, 0xF842650C, 0x1ABA1860.

The event log showed error ID's number 7 and 51 repeatedly. I ran Check Disk which "bombed" before it finished. I updated the BIOS in response to Windows' Knowledge Base advice.

I took the computer to Best Buy's Geek Squad. Their Diagnostics indicated that the computer is infected with Virtumonde. They told me that was probably the cause of the BSOD and disk error messages.

Following the instructions on this forum I downloaded Malwarebytes anti malware which found the Trojan.vundo virus. I also downloaded Avast and ran the boot scan, which bombed. I removed McAfee and Spyware Doctor from the computer, turned off system restore and ran Malwarebytes in Safe Mode. It didn't find any more viruses. I turned on system restore again.

Meanwhile the event log continues to show the errors 7 and 51. I ran check disk and it bombed again. I am not sure if I have a hardware problem or if the virtumonde virus is still on my computer and causing all the trouble.

Before posting this message I ran the Erund software again to back up the registry and got an "error saving file message" that said there was an I/O error and it could not save the file named ....Users\00000001\USERS\DAT!. I did another backup (in addition to the sysrestore) using the XP back up utility to be sure I had a registry backup.

I don't know if the hard disk really has a problem or if the virtumunde virus is still present on this computer. Please advise me on what you think I should do next.

Thank you!
