Hello. I'm Don and I'm a newbie.

I'm not sure if this is where I should post this or not, but here goes.
This past weekend vista froze up on me. I had to reinstall vista. All
was going great until I go to send a email with a video attacment. The
attatchment was 7MB. It would get to the end of sending it then the
screen went black, then a bluescreen flashed with a bunch of text. It
flashes too quick for me to get any error info. then it restarted on
it's own. I tried uploading the vid to photobucket and shortly after the
upload starts it goes to black, blue then restart. I'd be greatful if
someone could provide some help. Thank you

I'm running a gateway GM5442
Intel core2 duo processor E4400
2ghz shared 2MB L2cache 800MHz FSB
Intel graphics media Accelerator 950
Dualchannel memory 2048MB DDR2
Harddrive 500GB SATA II
Intel 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN
Vista Primium 32

(Don't know what all that means but it's on my computer and thought I'd
give all the info I could.)

Here is the info I get when it restarts and the search for solutions
box comes up...

Figured out the problem and thought I'd post what happened incase
someone else has the same problem.
The anti-virus program I was running, PCilin 2007 was working fine. But
they sent me a message stating that they would no longer be supporting
it and that I needed to update to the 2009 version. I did and within a
week my windows locked up and I couldn't get vista to load. I assumed
that was the problem so when I decided to reinstal vista, I bought
another anti-virus, defender pro 15 in 1. All was fine until I tried to
send a video through email. That's when the stuff in my first post
started happening. I'd asked for help from them, no luck, same with
microsoft.

I uninstalled the anti-virus that all the salemen told me I had to have
and was so much better than the AVG that some had tried to tell me
worked for them. I tried the AVG, turned my vista firewall and defender
on and now all is well.

I've have made my mind up that the anti-virus biz is little more than a
scam. I don't doubt that the software companies are the ones who release
a lot of the viruses just get richer off those of the fear they feed us.
