One week ago I started getting wierd pop-ups and i.e redirects. Fire fox wasn't affected. I ran malwarebytes as well as my pctools spyware doctor with anit-virus. PC tools usually does the trick for me. It scanned and found the zero access rootkit virus. It cleaned it, and had to reboot to finish cleaning. Every since then, I get a BSOD with error 0x000000F4. I can't boot to safe mode either nor to a command prompt. I can get into the recovery console, however most executables (TDSSKiller, etc...) won't run in the recovery console (that I know of anyway).

Please help me!!! The OS is W7 x64 Home

Plug the flashdrive into the infected PC.
