[Another thing I noticed is that your RAM is quite low at 512MB only. How old is the laptop? Any hardware issues before? ] I've owned this laptop about 3yrs. The only newer hardware issue is my touch pad will not click and noe requires me to plugin an external mouse.

Am working on the scan.

Hello bigdreamer02 :),

Please post the Kaspersky online scan result.
Note: Can't do on line scan.

Coming soon:
A new, improved version of the Kaspersky Online Scanner The current Kaspersky Online Scanner is unavailable - we apologize for the inconvenience. While you are waiting for the improved Online Scanner, why not try a free trial of Kaspersky Internet Security 2010, which has everything you need to keep your computer safe.

I've temp disabled Trend Micro then downloaded Kaspersky Internet Security 9.0.0.463 and updated. I've scaned and found nothing.
Hello bigdreamer02 :),

Although Antivirus (AV) is essential for keeping your computer free from viruses, having more than one AV will do more harm than protect your computer. They will not only conflict, but will slow down your computer as well. Please keep only one AV installed and remove the other. Very likely the update of Trend Micro failed because the license already expired. Is it so? If yes and you would like to try something free, Avast and Avira are some great and free antivirus programs.

Your RAM is quite low for today's standard and would be advisable to upgrade.

The BSOD problem is not malware related and you are All Clear to go. As this forum is a dedicated malware removal site, I am unable to assist you further, but you can try these other forums that deal with hardware or software problems:

Geeks To Go
Tech Support Forum

Some tips to help you stay clean and safe:

1. Keep your Windows up to date. Enable Automatic Updates to always update the latest security patches from Microsoft, or you can download from the Microsoft website. Otherwise, your computer will be vulnerable to new exploits or malwares.

2. Use an alternative browser like Firefox or Opera. These browsers are safer and better security-wise.

3. Update your Antivirus program regularly, it is a must for constant protection against viruses. Please keep only one AV installed.

4. Install Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. It is a new and powerful anti-malware tool, totally free but for real-time protection you will have to pay a small one-time fee.

5. Install WinPatrol, a great protection program that helps you monitor for unwanted files or applications.

6. Install SiteHound or Web of Trust (WOT). SiteHound and WOT keeps you from dangerous websites with warnings and blockings.

7. Keep all your softwares updated. Visit Secunia Software Inspector to find out if any updates required.

9. Stand Up and Be Counted ---> Malware Complaints <--- where you can make difference!

10. Also look up So how did I get infected in the first place? By Tony Klein.

Safe surfing.
