Suspected router infection, with underlying issues.

To start from the beginning, this is a super old Dell desktop (maybe not super. More like 4 - 5 years old at the most). Its been through its own fair share of viruses and what have you and re-installations. This past thanksgiving break I was feeling very iffy about the computer *still* running windows XP SP3, an instillation that too had been through a virus. I insisted that my mother not use it for anything other then games (but she doesn't listen to me T__T) so I decided to do a reinstall. And then I realized that I don't have the installation stuff for windows XP. Well, I'm a CS major and my school gave us MSDN keys for a hand full of windows products to I put windows 7 on the computer the saturday of thanksgiving, installed Microsoft security essentials, firefox and then left.

I come back today the beginning of my winter break and found what seemed to be the startings of a router infection (yay redirecting my google searches!). So I ran Malwarebytes and MSE, but to no avail, nothing was caught. So I downloaded GMER and DDS and ran them like prescribed after installing adblock plus and updating firefox. While DDS was running I noticed that MSE said it hadn't been allowed to do a scan in a week and from there things got worse. I have the DDS and the ATTACH files. But the first time I ran the GMER it froze (the whole computer I mean) and I restarted. Then the second time I ran it I got a BSOD with the message "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGE_AREA" and so I'm posting this now before attempting another go at GMER.

This computer really needs to be put down, but its pretty much the only one here.

Also I am not against a complete reinstall, there isn't really anything on here and I want to partition it and mess around with some linux (or is that too much for this rusty old box?)

EDIT: I ran GMER just as I posted this and as I write this there is a "gmer.exe has stopped working" message. It's stopped at "\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy3" (which I can see in the bottom left on the screen. So, yea. Help would be appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

EDIT2: I realize I didn't post the DDS in here. Whups.
