[Airborne Butters]

I suppose this error started about 3 days ago when I downloaded a screen saver and inadvertanly dl'd some spyware with it! Everything seemed dandy till one day I got alt-tab'd out of Star Wars Galaxies and got a fatal 'blue screen of death'! It was spouting about something called 'kernal' and hardware. I ran adaware,rolled it back a few days and it seemed smooth again. Once more I got the error, about kernal and blue screen. I got it twice today, within and hour and had a bitch of a time restarting the comp. Now when I switch webpages it'll freeze for a min, not bring up the error, and you'll hear what I think is my harddrive making a funny zooming/vrooming noise. I think it's my HDD that's just dieing but I was hoping to get some input from you lovely folks, or victims of this in the past.
