Nope there is no sign of the TDL stealth there so I would assess it to be a hardware problem of some sort
Cheers Essexboy, thanks for your overview of my aswMBR scan log, but after my recent 'double' full reformat/re-install procedure I don't expect to have it now, but I have definitely had something beforehand - I'm not currently experiencing these re-sets to year 2099 anymore ATM.
AFAIK the CMOS Battery is fine, my main source of freezes and crashes are due to unavoidable sound driver issues I believe, but they aren't causing BSODs though, something else must have caused those...
Interestingly a few times
in the past I've seen a clear pop up appear in the bottom right hand corner of screen showing up saying that my copy of Windows isn't genuine and requesting that I validate it 'again' by clicking to connect to who knows where? Although if I check things on the system in these cases everything else says otherwise. I ignore it and while it seems to mess with a few things it just goes away after a systems check, delete of temps & a reboot. This isn't happening at the same time as my 2099 re-set thing, OTOH however it might be related or be another example of the same kind of malware exploit.
Actually TBH I rather suspect that may be it could be due to some unidentified backdoor trojan PUP that might be responsible at least in some of my cases, say from something like toolbars, Alfa Autorun Killer, ZA, anything from IObit, IMGBURN or Privex free scanner perhaps along with many others? (I recommend totally avoiding these probable SPYwares of course.
)
BTW my copy of M$ Windows 7 is from a genuine retail CD with product key and correctly registered,
sheesh!
