Getting the BSOD after being infected with the FBI Cybercrime malware. No, they didn’t get any money out of me, but they have stolen my valuable time and hurt my business.
I’m just not a super tech-type but can follow instruction, as I assembled this system from scratch about two years ago, and it has worked flawlessly until that damned virus got it. I have run many possible fixes, repair, and did a restore point. Unfortunately I could only restore to a date after the infection.
The virus also blew out this program that was open when the virus attacked my machine; the Quickbooks .exe file, and I was able to get that running again.


After the virus attack I ran HitmanPro and did all updates to MS Win7, updated drivers, and ran Microsoft Security Esssentials, Windows Defender, AVG (which was then uninstalled) Spybot, and MalwareBytes, SmartPC fixer, Fixzeroaccess.exe tool. Did a Startup Repair and removed Trusteer Rapport.

Ran chkdsk several times (which crashes to bsod before finishing at about 70-95% complete). These crashes occur about every 30-45 minutes. In Safe Mode I can run things longer but it also blue screen crashed. Changed the virtual memory settings to over 12000Kb

After running the Driver Verifier program, it identified that the ntoskrnl.exe file is the cause of the bsod crashes, and it comes up on the blue screen as the fault, everything else works or has been restored.
The problem is the DOS command Expand x:\i386\ntoskrnl.ex_ c:\windows\system32 as it not working to restore the original ntoskrnl.exe file from my Windows 7 install disk to the C:\Windows\System32 folder It wont give the prompt 'Y' for yes to copy the file into my system 32 folder.
What command or procedure will work to extract and replace the file? I log on as administrator and have changed the drive boot order to use the installation disk. It will state: unable to find directory, ,or wrong syntax after entering the recommended command string…Help!
