I just deleted it. How do I boot?
ok, now i’m confused.. i did read the iastor problems from intel, but this iastor seems to be a malware or virus or whatever it is, in my hitman pro said to be a “rootkit”
as what i’ve read further about the rootkit and the google redirecting problems i had, this “.sys” file that i found to b in different names are the culprit..
yet, seems like i have the BSOD problem as well, so i have no idea here…
I think it came to me through a link in Facebook on 31 Jan. My Windows 7 64 bit can not boot even not in safe mode and dies on a blue screen about iastor.sys file problem. Also the setup from the recovery partition can not run claiming about memtest.exe be lost. I’m not even sure the partition is still there.
Wifes’ computer got this, could not boot into safemode or regular without BSOD. Did a system restore from bootable program (non-windows) to the previous day and was able to boot into windows to run antivirus checks. ALWAYS run more then one AV virus scan when you think your comp has been compromised, there are many companies that offer a free online scan (Trend Micro - Housecall, Panda Active Scan etc..).
