Stop 0x0000007E

[Mark]

I periodically receive a Stop 0x0000007E for an unknown reason. Voho46.sys
does not live on this machine nor is it found on the Internet.



Exact text is (0xC0000005, 0xBA5CBDB1, 0xBAD37C78, 0xBAD37974) VoHo46.sys
add=ba5cbdb1 base at ba5b3000 date stamp 47d90380



Any ideas?

If you cannot see voho46.sys on disk, this suggests that it is part of a
root-kit trojan, which has been hidden from you.

Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log
to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use (in
conjuction with some other utilities). HijackThis will NOT fix anything on
its own, but it will help you to both identify and remove any
hijackware/spyware with assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22,
http://castlecops.com/forum67.html, or other appropriate forums for review
by an expert in such matters, not here.**

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) computer repair shop.
