I can't install the program - it seems I get really close and then a blue screen with text pops takes over:

"A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
A process or thread crucial to system operation has unexpectantly exited or been terminated...
...
Technical Information:
*STOP: 0x000000F4 ( 0x00000003, 0x82DCDD60, 0x82DCDED4, 0x805F9488 )

Beginning dump of physical memory"

Even worse, when I went to do a HJT scan outside of safe mode and post it here, the computer decided to stop starting up - all I get is a black screen saying disc read error, strike any key to try again (As it is I'm writing this from a friend's computer).

Any information you could give me would be awesome - thanks again!

Without being able to start Windows at all, we will need to do a system file check or a repair installation. Neither will cause you to lose any of your files or data that is on the computer, but you do need to have a Windows XP disc. Do you have a disc?

[scg8555]

I think it's at home (I'm away at college right now)...I think I'm going to hope there's a hardware problem that my school's I&TS can fix, and from there using your instructions I can (hopefully) clear out this little bugger...

[Buckeye_Sam]

If you can get into Windows, even safe mode, then I can help you work through this and get you cleaned up. Since you system appears to be rather fragile right now, don't worry about Ewido again. We'll just have to deal with it manually.

Post a new hijackthis log when you can and we'll go from there.
