Hi! I'm running Windows XP, on an Intel Celeron Processor with an ATI Radeon (couldn't really see that) Express 300 video card, 120 GB hard drive, and 512 MB DDR SDRAM (not sure what THAT means), which I update regularly. I have AVG 8.0, Ad-Aware, and Spybot S&D as far as virus PROTECTION goes. I TRY to keep those up to date as well.

I recently got the XPAntivirus 2008 Trojan, which (thankfully) I have cleared off my computer. As best I can tell, anyhow. Since I got this, however, my computer has been bluescreening regularly -- every ten minutes without action, actually. Since it goes away when I press space and shows up on the taskbar as "Screen Saver", I'm fairly sure that there aren't actually any fatal errors going on. This issue wouldn't be a problem if I could access most of the tabs on Properties. I right click on my desktop, go to Properties, and the only tabs are Appearance, Themes and Settings. So my background stays a delightfully annoying shade of default blue, and my screen saver stays as an error message.

I just want to know what's wrong with my computer, and how I can fix it. I'm about to reinstall Windows out of general frustration, but I really want that to be a last resort. Any and all HELP here is appreciated.I don't think you have actually gotten rid of the virus, or you deleted the wrong files.

Go here and run the scans. Post the logs when complete.
