[QUOTE="boweasel, post: 126752, member: 9474"] Well, you're sort of missing my point - the laptop is clean. All this is in my post. I ran a full scan of Malwarebytes and it found no malicious objects. I then ran a scan using TdssKiller. Nothing. I then ran a full scan using Security Essentials. Nothing. There seems to be no point in downloading another tool, and running yet another scan on a PC I know to be free of infection. Further investigation has turned up the information that having an internet connection might be the thing that triggers the BSOD when trying to boot into safe mode, SM w/ networking, or SM w / command prompt. I've seen it suggested that turning off the wireless or disabling thw wi-fi, or even simply unplugging the modem or router with enable a successful boot with SM w/ command prompt. If that's true, then there'd be no need to create a bootable flash drive, etc, etc. I assumed that you good folks would be on the cutting edge for simple methods of ridding a PC of the FBI virus. I already know how to get rid of it using a Hirens CD and the Registry Restore component of that tool. I was looking for something easier. [/QUOTE]
