Clear the Java Cache by following the instructions on
 
You do not have the latest Java.
First go into Control Panel, Add/Remove Software (XP) or Programs and Features (Vista/Win 7) and remove any old versions (which may call themselves: Java Runtime, Runtime Environment, Runtime, JRE, Java Virtual Machine, Virtual Machine, Java VM, JVM, VM, J2RE, J2SE)
I see:
Java 7 Update 65
 
Java has been very vulnerable to infection so unless you absolutely need it you should not reinstall it.
 
If you feel you must have Java:
Get the latest Java at:
 
Save it to your PC then close all browsers and install it.  Do not let it install the yahoo toolbar or other foistware.
Once installed, go into Control Panel, Java, Security and set the slider to the Highest then OK.
 
(If you also want the 64 bit version then use the 64 bit version of IE to get it.)
 
 
Try some of the programs that wouldn't run before like aswmbr.  (Remember to right click and Run As Admin) Since you are downloading them with IE, right click on the program and select Properties.  Make sure IE did not block it.  
 
Do a search for vfnws.dll  and delete any you find.  You may want to let FRST do the search.  (Type vfnws.dll in the box and then hit Search Files.)

1. Cleared the java cache

2. having said Java is risky, I stay away as much as possible. I've removed it.

3. I tried to rerun aswmbr, avg removal kit with 'Run as admin'. It didn't react. I've checked the properties of aswmbr.exe but nothing is there saying 'blocked'. Pls see attached screenshot.

4. Went to control panel. tried to uninstall AVG 2014. No reaction.

5. Did a vfnws.dll search with FRST. Found one file at this location and deleted it. - C:\FRST\Quarantine\C\ProgramData\{9A88E103-A20A-4EA5-8636-C73B709A5BF8}\vfnws.dll

 

*My machine did a blue dump crash before starting these steps earlier.It restarted itself.

*After doing all these steps, it did blue dump crash again and restarted by itself.

Double click on BlueScreenView.exe file to run the program.
When scanning is done, go Edit, Select All.
 
Go File, Save Selected Items, and save the report as BSOD.txt.
Open BSOD.txt in Notepad, copy all content, and paste it into your next reply.

Odd it didn't work for me either but this is the URL at the top of the page.

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html

You can just download the 64 bit version directly:

 

http://www.nirsoft.n...eenview-x64.zip

 

It's a zip file so will need to right click and Extract All then right click on the exe and Run As Admin.

ntoskrnl.exe has been the culprit most times.  It's a Windows file and sfc said it was OK so possible hardware problem.  Could be bad memory since you are not seeing high temps.  Run the built-in RAM test and see what it says.

 

http://www.sevenforu...stics-tool.html

 

See if RogueKiller will work for you.

 

There is a popup trying to sell you the premium version.  You can x it and then hit the download under Free.  Save it and Run as Admin.

 

If it won't run, create a new user with admin power and login in as the new user and try to download and run it from the new user.

Please advise if I can do this later once the antivirus issue is over. You may feel free to advise otherwise.

1. Memory Good.

2. RogueKillerX 64 ran in the same logged in NT User.

3. Ran with 'Run as admin' option.

4. There were few Registry entries it pointed to and I deleted them.
