I am pretty sure I have some sort of virus but I wanted to post and ask for some help before I went and did something to make things worse. Spybot Search and Destroy, from yesterday evening, started popping (repeatedly) up with a dialog asking permission for a registry change which had to do with WinSATRestorePower. It was deleting a value or some other and I'm not exactly sure what it was asking for but I denied it out of suspicion as I didn't know what program was trying to mess with my registry.
(Note: Also, yesterday, I just installed a Microsoft LifeCam but it seemed to be compatible with my Windows 7 just fine)
Today I turned on my computer and after it configured the Microsoft Lifecam/webcam shortly, after I clicked on the lifecam program dialog a minute later the screen got all weird and then it went to a blue screen that babbled about dumping memory. Also I've started the computer since the dump happened at 11:35pm, ran Spybot Search and Destroy and all it found was coupon adware that I wasn't able to remove because I'm not the administrator. It is now 1:19am and there is no sign of another memory dump. I'm not sure if this is associated with the webcam drivers, a possible trojan/adware/malware or maybe has something to do with the graphic card recently installed? I'd really appreciate some help.Thanks in advance!
