I noticed after browsing around in my search engine yesterday (FireFox, yahoo search) My yahoo search looked messed up. when u search a site it takes you to a advertising site. I had this issue once before, I was told it was Malware infecting my browser..I was instrued to DL Malwarebytes & disable 3rd party sites. That worked for that issue. But this time I wasnt even able to OPEN malwareBytes. I was able to do virus check with my Pclllen software & pulled up nothing both in normal & safe mode. I have done a system restore, that did not work. I eventually found how to open Malware bytes by creating a short cut & changing its name(seems this virus affects certain programs u try & lanuch). I ran a full scan with malwareBytes with no success of catching the virus. When I am in Normal mode, my PC will shut down & I get the horrible blue screen of death that reads: River_Irql_not_less_or equal. So i know there is still something invading my PC even though my virus software is not picking it up. I really dont want to go through the trouble of uninstalling windows & re loading windows..Any advice?? Please help.
