Before I begin I would like to say sorry for opening a thread with 'Block-Checker ' again but thought it was necessary

I have read all the way through the previous block checker thread and found it very useful

the reason why I am creating this thread is because I recently 'fixed' a mates pc, they complained it was slow.   When I got there I found, no word of a lie, over 1000 pieces of spyware, malware, viruses and more.

The programs I used on his computer are as follows:
Spybot Search and Destroy
Crap Cleaner
XoftSpy SE
and Zone Labs (firewall and anti-virus to replace McAfee)
> run > msconfig (checked up on start-up items)
I also ran the Disk Defragmenter

but while using XoftSpy I came across this name 'BlockChecker', every time I tried to remove or quarantine it, it crashed the pc and gave me the blue screen of death, and the last line of it was something like 'dumping physical memory'.  I panicked and switched the pc off.  After switching it back on it is fine, excepted that Block Checker was still there, I left the pc working but with it still there.  Two days later I got a phone call saying it wouldn’t boot up, it was the blue screen of death, and it also wouldn’t start in safe mode.

A good friend of mine suggested to press F8 at start-up and select the last configured settings, hopefully it will replace standard windows files.  He said this because I could of possibly accidentally un-ticked a windows process. I will try this tomorrow. 

But I was wondering if there is anyway of Block Checker to cause this type of problem, since it did when I tried to remove it.  O and there was no uninstaller for Block Checker, it did not appear in add/remove programs

If anyone can help me, it would be much appreciated

mr.tickle

did you try a scan in safe mode?

i can't

windows wont load in normal or safe mode, just comes up with the blue screen

mr.tickle

can you open up the task manager and stop the process and rescan...
go up to start> run > msconfig and delete block checker's entry...

If he got a system recovery disk put that in.

i cant physicaly get to windows, it doesnt load.....goes straight to the blue screen

ill have to ask them to see if the got a recovery disk

thanks for eveyone helping
