Full Scan Stalls at C:\windows\Sysem32\CoIntegrity\driver.stl

[AWS]

I HAD Kaspersky Pure Security Suite installed on my computer until a few days ago when it allowed malware through. They would help me get rid of the MANY programs, files, worms, and many other etc.'s coming through SO I took four days (without ANY sleep)

and removed everything myself after uninstalling the program. I installed Security Essentials and the FIRST two times I ran it in Full mode everything was fine. It caught bugs and malware. I did just a BIT of tweeking of my computer today (i.e.: I downloaded

a pop-up blocker as I just could not get rid of them no matter WHAT browser I used). It was of no use. It didn't block anything. I unistalled it OBVIOUSLY. It's of no use. I also had to delete and wipe a bunch of other programs that snuck in even with Windows

Security Suite. Probably rode in with the download (yes, one MUST read all that fine print... I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere within it when one clicks on "accept" that somewhere in there you are agreeing to give up your first born). SO, I decided to

run a full scan again starting about 14 hours ago. I keep restarting it and every single time it stops at C:windowsSystem32CoIntegritydriver.stl. BTW, I am NOT a programmer. I haven't even done anything with programming since 1989 and that was in the days

of PC-DOS. Of course, Microsoft's founder was probably still sucking his thumb at that time. Then Microsoft bought PC-DOS from IBM and well, I gave up on programming then. Needless to say it wasn't easy for me to take this piece of **** apart and try to figure

out what to do with it. When I say "piece of ****", I'm referring to the fact that this is SUPPOSED to be a custom built H.P. notebook that I paid $2,000.00 for direct from H.P. It's off the subject but I advise anyone withing reading distance NOT to trust

H.P. to follow through on their promises as they WILL NOT be honored. This is NOT a professional, custom built notebook. Don't buy Kaspersky either. While it WAS a great program, it now has holes in it (all of them DO, but MOST major providers have service

and support. Kaspersky DOESN'T. Anyway, not being a puter wiz, I don't have a clue why it keeps stopping right there or what that CoIntegritydriver.stl even is. I DO KNOW that Trojans USUALLY start with "System32" but then so do MANY other essential files

SO I'm very apprehensive about manual deletion. PLEASE TELL WHAT TO DO!!! PLEASE!!!! Thank you SO very much! Karen
