Resolved BSoDs following virus outbreak

Hey.

My problem is that I became aware of that there was a virus on my computer, it started coming up with BSoDs. A message popped up telling me that Microsoft Security Essentials was damaged, and that I should uninstall it - I dismissed it because I thought it was the virus trying to get me to disable my antivirus. However I did eventually turn it off (by killing its process and related processes), and the computer stayed on for about an hour then blue screened within a minute of me killing MsMpEng.exe (for the second time), though that might be a coincidence.

The first blue screens were 0x0000008E, and subsequently 0x0000007E (until I chose to turn on with last known working configuration), and this new blue screen I received was:

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

STOP: 0x00000050 (0xFFFFFF80,0x00000001,0x80578F06,0x00000000)

Oh, and I forgot to say that the computer would stay on for about half an hour, or less before blue screening with 8E, then it would blue screen on start-up afterwards.

Computer specifics:
Media Centre Edition SP3
Dell Dimension DM051
CPU 2.80GHz 2.79GHz
2.99 GB of RAM

I suppose I'm asking if stopping MSSE means that my computer is fine now, and that I can go over to the malware forums?

Thanks.

 

Thanks very much for the quick response - I'll take myself over to the malware thread, thanks again.
