BleepingComputer.com: Blue screen of death, require assistance.

Hello BleepingComputer.com

I've been getting a lot of blue screens lately. I have bits and pieces of the error message

Something IRQL_NOT_EQUAL_OR_LESS

error contains 0x00000002 0x00000008

Contains more sequels, I haven't written it down.

My computer runs on Vista Ultimate. Vista stated it was a problem with my Kaspersky internet security. I haven't tried uninstalling it because I brought a legit version with limited keys. I don't want to risk it being wasted after uninstall. I did a Dell memory test and there was no sign of any faulty sectors in my RAM. I would appreciate it if someone would point me in the right direction or give proper instructions on how I can find the primary source of this BSoD. Thank you very much.

Tio

bump. Can anyone help?

Hi rsx1212,

If you have the activation key for Kaspersky, you can uninstall it and reinstall it as often as you want within the year that the key is valid. I recommend that you locate the key to make sure yoiu have it and know what it is, and then follow Kaspersky's uninstall instructions which you can look at here:

http://www.kaspersky.com/support/kav6/install?qid=193239348

You should not run your computer without an antivirus program, even if you decide to test what happens by uninstalling Kaspersky. For that reason, I recommend that you download one of the following installer programs for a free antivirus to your desktop, then disconnect from the internet, uninstall Kaspersky, install the new antivirus program and then reconnect to the internet. This will leave your computer with the least amount of vulnerability while you check if removing Kaspersky is the problem. Here are links for two free antivirus programs that are both good and light-weight, and after you decide what to do about Kaspersky, you can either uninstall the free one and reinstall Kaspersky, or keep the free one.

Download and install either of the following, and be sure to allow it to update when it finishes installing. [/indent]

• Avast!
  
• Antivir
  
  Note: You should only have one antivirus installed at a time. Having more than one antivirus program installed at once is likely to cause conflicts and may well decrease your overall protection as well as impairing the performance of your PC.
