I am running Windows 7 x64 on a HP G60 Laptop.
Yesterday night (or early this morning) I opened an '.exe' that I really shouldn't have. My computer immediately got BSOD (Blue screen of death) and rebooted. There was no damage done to the computer, however, whenever i would turn on my Wireless (via HP SmartButton next to the Power Button) it would get BSOD and restart. I have uninstalled and reinstalled chrome, uninstalled and updated my wireless card driver, run just about every malware/virus scan you can imagine. But to no avail.

The BSOD never stays up long enough for me to really read it. My most recent Malwarebytes' scan had something about

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Cerberus (Backdoor.Trace)

which it removed and quarantined. Upon requested restart, the machine went into BSOD after log-in. I had about 10 minidump files from today, but ran a system restore to a week ago and now only have 3 or 4.

If a Hijack or Malwarebytes report, or the dump files or blue screen logs would be of help I would be glad to provide them.

Hi all,

New member here.

I opened an infected executable yesterday, which immideately gave me BSOD. After it rebooted, it seemed to only be when I turned the wireless card on. It has since spread to other things such as opening programs, browsers, etc.

Here are the 5 dump files. I had about 10 earlier but ran a system restore (from a week ago) and these are the only 4 dumps I have since then.

Any help would be great. I'm a student and have to go back to the dorms in a few days, where I won't have time to figure this all out. I've scanned with Malware, Spybot Search and Destroy, Kasperky, and Avast. Some found things but I've still gotten BSOD.

Thanks
