Seriously, fuck XP - it is slow as dog shit and just as insecure. Uses admin accounts with full privs by default, which is likely how you got infected to start with.
Windows 7 is leaps and bounds better than XP, even if only from a security perspective.

Reinstall windows dude. Its the only way to be sure.
Just noticed that he has XP... Unfortunately, I must agree with this statement. So if you are running Windows 7, would you have to re-install? Or no? I am curious because my son-in-law started playing/downloading stuff for x-box gold and micro-soft points, attempting to get "free codes" on one of my computers that is not partitioned nor protected, using utorrent. I am running scans now, (517 errors  ), was awesome to find the malwarebytes link, thank you, I will run that next. I guess my question is, is utorrent safe? Is bittorrent better? What about freenet or darknet? Or should I tell him just stay the f... off of there and go to? .... He is trying to find codes for free or discounted. Is this even legal? If not, and he continues to use my computer, if I partitioned of an area off the hard drive just for him, would it affect me? Any info is appreciated. Thank you |

Okay. Malwarebytes is running now. So far 7 infections just on Chrome. Guess it will be a long night. |

If you running windows no reason you can't be running a rollback software like RollbackRX or some such similar.
SandboxIE for your browser.
WinMHR to scan for non rootkit files, kicks any individual AV's arse.
Delete/Remove Java, Flash, anything Adobe.
Create a new profile in Firefox.

Thank you. I had never heard of Rollback Rx. I know this is prob a silly question. Malwarebytes removed 7 infections. Should I still do these other procedures? I know. Prob yes. Just trying to save a few hours.  EDIT: Is there a safe way to obtain a code generator or are they always a virus? |

code generators and activation 'patches' are almost always identified as viruses, particularly if you enable heuristics in the AV. And yet often they arent, but how can one know? If you only need the code generator, run it in a VM. If you need to patch your app, well,.. buy it. Or find a free alternative. |

Hmm forgot to check back on this.
Tiptop I assume your issue has been long resolved however for the symptoms you described (BSOD and the error message) I'd try running cmd prompt as administrator, putting XP OS CD in drive and run command "sfc /scannow". If it finds any system files that appear to have compromised integrity it will replace them with the original versions.
After that reboot and load off the XP CD, on the first screen choose "R" to bring up the recovery console and from the command prompt run "CHKDSK C: /R" (assuming you use C as primary drive).
As others have said it's sometimes best to just nuke it from orbit (wipe/reload XP) but with these issues I hate doing it as it feels like admitting defeat. There are a few other things you can try if the above don't help.
Bitcoin113: Very interesting that ComboFix deleted bitcoin related stuff and good to know for the future. Glad you didn't lose more than a fraction of a coin.
Freeway: uTorrent is as safe as the files you download with it. Since all the files you get are shared P2P there are no guarantees that they aren't infected. A way to mitigate the risk is only download torrents from thepiratebay.org from "trusted" users (they'll have a skull icon near their name ironically). Another thing that will help is after every download prior to launching the downloaded file scan it with malwarebytes. You can do this easily by browsing to it and right clicking the folder or file and the option should show up in the menu options.
