KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR STOP:0X0000007A (0XC03E12A4,0XC000000E,0XF84A94A1,0X0C08F860)

I got this error in my laptop. Whenever I on my laptop after few mintues I get the error as mentioned below.
KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERRORSTOP:0X0000007A (0XC03E12A4,0XC000000E,0XF84A94A1,0X0C08F860)
Ntfs.sys - Address F84A94A1 base at F8444000, DateStamp 41107eea
As usual I googled for a solution to settle this problem. Few sites gave me few suggestions to solve this problem. But none worked out for me. But most of the sites gave an idea that this error is due to either hard disk problem or memory problem. So first I ran the chkdsk by booting the laptop using Windows XP cd and went to repair mode.
The report shows no error in the hard disk. Now I want to check the memory of my laptop. So I download the software named Memtest86 An advanced Memory Diagnostic tool. I download the Prebuit ISO format and made a bootable CD using the Nero Burn software. I used the CD to boot my PC and run the memory diagnostic test to run whole day and check all the memory blocks. Finally my problem is settled and now my laptop is working fine.

How to remove the spyware Program1

Welcome to the real world! Your system has been partially taken over by insidious adware programs written by hackers with malicious intentions.

(1) Disconnect the computer from internet. Pull out the cable to the wall or disable the ethernet/modem device.

(2) Use a professional adware/virus/worm/trojan removal tool and clean up the system. If you want to use online tools to remove them, then don't disconnect from internet. You may use reputed services such as "symantec" or "trendmicro" tools and detect/remove the nasty stuff through online assistance. These companies offer free services to remove them for home users.

(3) Once you remove them, go to internet-explorer options, security and disable a whole lot of features:
-disable scripting. This will turnoff javascripting and prevent crooks from repeating it. You can add selected sites to "trusted sites" and allow scripting there.

-disable java, disable applets, disable activeX altogether, disable software permissions, increase safety level etc. Occasionally you may get warning notices while browsing internet "you have disabled activeX!" but that nuisance is a small price for security.

You should always be able to go to Task Manager using CTRL-ALT-DELETE. If this is also disabled, then you may have to reboot in safe-mode and start cleaning.

Also, change all your passwords that you have set in internet sites, since some worms would have screen-captured your keyboard and forwarded them to some other website for storage.

I would like to personally meet those crooks who write such software and break their fingers one by one. I am pissed off! They have wasted so many days of my life.
