Hey Elise, thanks for the help but I've got it fixed and maybe it's something you can use. What was causing the freeze was some bad sectors. I'm convinced the Rootkit had something to do with this else it would be as big a coincidence as death by unicorn. At any rate repairing the disk fixed the bad sectors and now the scans work fine. Thanks for everything and keep up the good work fighting the good fight.

Not sure if this should be in this particular forum or not. Apologies if wrong but I'm not sure what the deal is. Ok, had a popup I knew meant trouble. Disconnected from the internet, ran a quick scan with mbam and, sure enough, found "Rootkit.TDSS.Gen". Log says taken care of, have to restart and supposedly I'm good to go, right? Apparently not. Now I can't run a scan that doesn't freeze up in normal mode. I say that because I was able to run a quick scan in safe mode (which came back clean BTW) but not a full scan. Normal mode I'm froze up quick or full scan in 4 minutes or less. So, did the original virus just mess with something in the program before it got deleted or am I still infected? I haven't tried getting back onto the internet with that machine since just as a precaution. What next?
