Has anyone experienced this problem? I got this message on a Win7 home premuim 64-bit laptop. After that, the PC suddenly became veeeery slow or completetly locked. Some source claimed it to be a virus, not an official Microsoft warning/message. Processor load is practically 0 %. No heavy processes encountered. Tried...

MS Windows defender from bootable USB

Malwarebytes run in adm mode

Recovered system from repair DVD

 

Will try next the Rescue CD from F-Secure..

 

What can I do? I would like to completely wipe the HD and reistall but I have only rescue DVD and Acer charges for the installation media.
