Ok, Afterdawn.. I need your help..
my system recently blue-screened then crashed/rebooted... according to microsofts info on the System Error, it was likely a rootkit...
I was using Nero 7's NeroVision at the time...
I've read several posts that AnyDVD and Sony could have installed rootkits - that reminded me of viewing a couple of discs lately that started up with "Sony" (though I quickly closed them and used a different player)...

How can I tell if it was something put in by either of those mentioned above, or something else?

And what can I do to fix this please?

Start with F-Secure's Blacklight and RootkitRevealer. There are other anti-rootkit applications out there, but these are a good and free start.

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.
