Hi, I really hope someone can help me. I did something really stupid and downloaded an infected file from Limewire that gave me a bunch of junk. I removed Limewire but continued to get popups for programs like Frostwire that aren't even (to my knowledge) installed on my machine. I'd heard good things about Super Anti Spyware, so I installed it and ran a scan. It found several trojans and something called vundo. Once the scan finished, it asked me to restart. So far, so good...until I got a blue screen of death at start up. So I put Windows into safe mode and now I'm at a loss as to what to do. Is my only option reinstalling Windows at this point? And if so, how do I back up my data without backing up the viruses too? I'm also not sure if I have all the drivers I'd need. I don't feel comfortable doing it myself either so I will take it in for repair, but first I WANTED to see if anyone has any other suggestions. I'm running XP with McAfee, if that helps...could McAfee possibly have conflicted with something? I tried to disable it but I couldn't figure out how. Please help!Superantispyware shouldn't have removed anything that would cause a blue screen. If needed open Superantispyware (SAS) and select manage quarantine, select the log of items removed and click Restore.

Can you get into normal mode? If so post a Hijackthis log so we can see what is GOING on. If needed run Hijackthis in safe mode.I'm not sure where the "manage quarantine" option is, but I do have the log file of what it fixed/removed, if that helps you.
