| kernelfaultcheck - urgent please help hi
i was surfing the net like i normally do, then all of the sudden the computer restarted on its own.
i have spybot search and destroy installed and with teatimer run at start
so when the pc restarted i got this message from teatimer for adding a new entery
"system startup global entery
entry : kernelfaultcheck
New data : %systemroot%\system32\dumprep 0 -k "
i instruct spybot to deny the change
this was followed by a windows message saying that the system has recovered form a serious error and that it needs to report the error i said no
PlEASE help asap, is this a malware of some kind
i have kaspersky so when the system restarted i run a scan on critical areas only (windows, system32. system memory) and it cam clean
what to do?
thanks | |

The same kind of thing happens with computers. When the unexpected occurs, don't just assume it's malware. Most likely, it will be a hardware or software hiccup. For spontaneous resets "out of the blue", I usually first look for hardware issues - but that's just me. Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager is the place to start looking for flagged devices. Then I look for software issues. Event logs are the place of choice to start. Some folks will start with the event logs first... that's OK too. If nothing evident turns up in either place, then I'll start checking for malware.
Unless, of course, one gets an anti-malware warning right off... then you pursue that.

| i brought up the event viewer and two items caught my attention
1- error source: system error category 102
Error code ------, parameter1 -------, parameter2 --------, parameter3 -------, parameter4 --------.
2- information source: save dump caategory:none
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: ---- (------, -------, ------, --------). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini011508-01.dmp.
and nothing is flagged in the hardware list and i did kasper scan on the critical areas (system memory, windows folder and system32 folder ) that came clean
what would u advise to do?

thanks Try attaching a copy of your minidump file to a new post here (Preview/Attach). Then, perhaps someone will come along to analyze what's in it.

| If you feel you have to run the free programs in this forum here:
»Security Cleanup
Plus just incase and as always do a backup of any needed data or programs or files.
Glitches can just happen for a reason that lowly people like me do not care about. OS are very complex and sometimes do just glitch. But always backup your data and if want to run those free programs.
Also if you can follow Blackbird's advice and post a copy of the minidump here.
It may or may not be security related but OS do sometimes turn odd and backup data is the insurance. | |

| Part of your confusion/problem is due to how you have Windows set up to handle a crash. You have it on automatic reboot which is default. You need to change it so that the computer will give you a Stop error instead (what many refer to as a Blue Screen of Death). Write down everything on the screen so you can post that information here.
To change it right click on My Computer on the desktop, click on properties in drop down box and then follow my screen shot and uncheck "automatically restart".
