Rootkits = *.*
A few months ago my main XpPro SP1 box started experiencing a few problems. I had not reinstalled the OS for over a year, so I thought I would do a non destructive re-install. Guess what - it failed and I was informed:
Stop 0x0000007B
After much research microsoft info advised me there was a memory problem or I had a Rootkit infection.
Well Ive tested the memory and the two modules seem ok. I've used a many different pgrms to try and detect the 'rootkit' all with no success.
So my OS is still running ok minus: IE, MSmedia player, Restore points etc.. I get by instead using Nero, Google ,Ghost & various others instead but does anyone else in our community really think (as microsoft suggests), this trouble is due to a rootkit?
BTW.
the PC is always Firewalled/antivir/antispy etc.
