Boot problem, Blue screen, suspect virus

Went to boot up my laptop and got the dreaded bluesreen of death which said
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Disable or uninstall any anti-virus, disk defragmentation or backup utilites. Check your hard drive configuration, and check for any updated drivers. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.

Technical information:

***Stop: 0x00000024 (0x00190203, 0x82FAE328, 0xC0000102, 0x00000000)

It won't boot into safe mode either, or last known configuration. Keeps taking me back to the blue screen. I suspect a virus

 

Ok booted using the Xp disc and did the chkdsk /r thing and it worked to some extent. Managed to go inot the safe mode where I did a virus scan and it detected a virus called Trojan Vundo which was removed by Norton. turned off the laptop and started it up which took much longer than normal. At a point I got a screen that said
"checking file system on C

plus some others that I wasn't fast enough to write down

The computer is extremely slow loading windows.

any suggestions

 

I'd suggest posting in the Malware and Virus Removal forum with a link to this thread included.

Will do as soon as I get home and scan get some better info. If i may ask, does it appear that my original problem was caused by this virus or was it a stand alone problem and I just happened upon the virus during the anti virus scan? I was thinking that something i downloaded earlier in the week may have been the culprit

 

Could have been either. But the lads in the Malware & Virus Removal forum will know better and will sort you out.
